86. No Signs

Mon Jul 22, 2024, 03:59 PM

Jul 2024

No signs here and the staff are very neutral in public. It's kind of a western place so they get a lot of white folks. The funny thing is there are several African American regulars. They sit with us regulars and are very welcome. I guess thats why the "there goes the blacks" comment from one guy shocked me.

I'm in there 2-3x a week and usually there is no talk of politics. I hear occasional things which led ne to conclude it's a Red bar, but it's not crazy.

Still I really enjoyed yesterday.
