if I understand(always a question) I heard that Michael Banfield died…a kindlier and more gentle more person than Antigua usually offered…so what if he wore white socks, brown shoes and a dark suit…I couldn’t fault that…he’ll be missed, in many ways.
and so, another restaurant goes on the blocks for sale…great location, upper/outer 4th avenida…starts with the latter ” M’ and the asking price is a bit much…I’ve been told, by folks, that the business price is 3X the last 3 years net…yes, net..profits X3….of course, subtract the fixtures/inventory…and there you go…a las, another great place, occupied by a beautiful lady….another sign that Antigua is going down the drain…in times of stress, only three things profit…liquor and sex
Michael Rayment and Howard(Ponzi Bob’s long time pal)in town…Frank, recently released on his his OR(own recognise)back to the River, with pigs,chickens, etc…he said he’d be good for the next two years, or avoid returning to the prison…he looked good..
and yes, another in the series forthcoming..Marbel in the Museum…photos great, writing sucks…my life, get over it..
and Mexico? might not be out of the picture….Alabama Bob might need a ‘visa trip’ and JR’s jeep might make it…in/out…to be determined, as they say.,..
so with another great restaurant closing, jade stores with excellent locations, what does this all mean? ask the volcano, Fuego…going off, blowing ash/smoke/dust for miles…is this the end of the year/century? grab your ass, bend over and grab your ankles…kiss your a….goodbye…I think I’ll have another cocktail and reflect….while sitting down…hasta la vista, turistas…I’m while I’m at it…in the Exit Inn the other night, watching gringas taking ‘selfies’ and thinking…in our hands are the sum of all knowledge…Google, etc…and this is the best that the world can come up with? a sad commentary but that’s our life…or, at least yours..one last shot…great gnocchi at La Vineria/Trattoria Italiano on 5th ave sur…fabulous…!
