Old School Bars

God, I miss bars like this: vinyl everywhere, easy and comfortable to sit at (yeah, I'm digging at high style bar tables and really strange seats - and I like modern furniture as much as the next guy but, seriously, some of these stools make me want to go grab an axe).  Sure, it's super cheesy now, but it's cozy to sit under plastic covered plants that don't require watering - or dusting, evidently - and I doubt that most carpenters these days (at least the ones that I can afford) could even built an overhang like that.

As for the drinking, your choice for wine is either white or red.  Got that, pal?  If you're drinking beer, then's it's one draft coming up!  Hell, in those days, we were all too tired from laying brick or fixing that steel railroad bridge to spend ten minutes reading over a damn three page wine and beer list anyway.

Oh, this one is at Roma's Pizza on Franklin Boulevard, Sacramento, California.

And they thought we were crazy.

Remember when the rest of the U.S. said that California was the Land of Fruits and Nuts?  Looks to me like the GOP has that title from now on.  Listening to Texans on NPR yesterday continue to doubt Obama's legitimacy as President since we 'still haven't seen the birth certificate' is all I need to hear to confirm that we on the glorious West Coast are now the sane ones.
