recent findings in a gentrified neighborhood

Observation:
The Echo Tap is a public house located near the Badger Bus depot. There is a bench near the front entrance which is frequently populated by the homeless/the homeless-looking. The bar seems to thrive during all hours - including the late morning. There are a large number of middle aged persons stumbling in, out, and near the establishment.

Hypothesis:
Based on the outward appearance of the public house, it can be inferred that the place is sketchy as fuck and is probably best avoided.

Experiment:
Two subjects, Slider (Subject A.qW) and j.patrick (Subject 42), consumed two alcoholic beverages at the dwelling of Subject 42. After consumption, the subjects walked approximately 40 paces to the site of the experiment.

Upon entering, subjects requested an alcoholic beverage from a bar tend. The subjects explored the area and discovered a pool table and dart boards on the second floor of the establishment. During the two hour experiment, the subjects played several games of pool and purchased additional beverages.

Discussion:
The interior was much different than what the exterior appearance would dictate. During the experiment, the subjects were adequately entertained and intoxicated.

Conclusion:
The hypothesis fails. The Echo Tap is the new Old Fashioned.

TNY and TBR... we're like this

You may remember my ramblings on allowing the tea-baggers to secede. Today, quite serendipitously, I was listening to my pod casts and found that I have a friend in the New Yorker.

While Mr. Hertzberg may have put it a little more eloquently, he and I are on the same page. Moral of the story: I should write for the New Yorker and the South should be let go.
