For some reason this
place reminds me of the depressing New Year's eve bar scene from Forrest
Gump, or some other awfully sad scene where the lead character
is sitting amongst wet streamers and deflated balloons, with a watered-down
drink and a bedraggled hooker/psychiatrist asking him to tell her
his troubles. All that's missing is a foul-mouthed, legless Vietnam
vet and a "slow" Tom Hanks lookin' motherfucker in a short-sleeve,
plaid button-up. Okay, it's not as bad as all that, but there is a
certain feeling of sadness about this joint that works its way into
your soul and makes it ache to be anywhere else. Sorry, it's been
one of those days. [MF] |
