Man, what a great montage. I'm sure it comes as no surpirse that I recognize the naib. It's been decades but some stuff never fades away. I like your Da's sideburns. Is that you in the last pic? Does the shirt say Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland?
This is great, better than any Lonely Planet guide or poncy Guardian supplement glossy travel section. Makes me want to get on a plane right now. First stop, the Normandy Tavern! And it's always so interesting to put a face to a blog.
Exile- thought you'd enjoy this one.
looby- my dad's old neighborhood was a colorful place, the Normandy is just another in a long line of shady establishments that i've visited... and there's the million dollar idea, a travel guide of disreputable establishments where all kinds of things can be procured!! All we need to do is sell that idea and get some publisher to give us a "research" budget ;)
that Clevo donut could totally kick an Eat n Park smiley cookie's ass. ... damn quality series.
kid- coming from you my brother that is some mighty high praise, gracias mi amigo... and those donuts are top notch, i won't lie, i ate that one.
Pops was rockin' those pork chop side burns! i have always been a sucker for those. With luck, next generation hipsters will bring them back, and i'll hate them.
