G Dub


Our fearless leader made a stop at the wonderful Riverside Corner Cafe yesterday. This is about 1/4 mile from my office, so I was fortunate enough to get a good view of the motorcade and rooftop snipers, however this photo is courtesy of SpaceyTracey.
There was a lot of hub-ub on talk radio yesterday complaining about the Pres. going from his Plaza hotel, to Riverside, then back to Bartle Hall and all the traffic backup it caused. It must have been a slow news day if that's all they had to complain about. I think it's pretty cool that he ate at a place like the Corner Cafe with the likes of George Brett, Carl Peterson, and Sam Graves (Sam must have gotten the "courtesy" invite). I just hope he was able to experience one of their great cinnamon buns.

People act like they're upset about stuff like traffic when someone famous like the Pres or U2 come to town, but deep down inside they're giddy with pride because it makes them feel like our city is big time for a second...like maybe they too could be as fashionably stressed and impatient as a New Yorker.

Ha! Right on, Gen. I agree.

Anyone know how much truth there is to the rumor W kept calling the place the Corner Restaurant and didn't tip a dime?

I heard that all he had to eat was just a biscuit. Who orders just a biscuit? I was very disappointed to hear this.
