Looking for some extra income by renting out your living room as a parking space, but don’t want to hire a pesky construction expert? No problem!<\/p>\n
Actually, this house was sideswiped by a sidewalk-project, and the owners are no doubt looking for ways to turn wall-lessness lemons into parking-lot lemonade.<\/p>\n
Yesterday was spent at a large collection of bars and restaurants. After work Kirk and I had lunch at the Italian Curry place next to Grandma Nitti’s. It wasn’t bad; I’d say it was on par with Pasta Mio behind Dan Ryan’s, but I like the environment at Pasta Mio, which has cats, better. After lunch we went for crushed ice on Yongkang Street, and then to the new Rainbow-flagged bar near Shi-da, where Kirk and I scavenged each others’ iPods for stuff we liked. Then we went to a place Kirk described as a lesbian bar. The decor reminded me of a 60’s hippie cave, complete with what appeared to be bongs decorated with fuzzy, ornate fittings. When we ordered, I said I’d have some kind of fruit-based cocktail, and Kirk ordered the same, with a Mango bong <\/a>on the side. Apparently you can smoke fruit. I had no idea. After our orders arrived I sampled some of the Mango bong, and found it was quite nice. All the time we were there an orange cat kept escapting and being brought back in by various members of the staff. Or it could be I imagined the cat. You just never know when you’re smoking a mango bong.<\/p>\n
