And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
"Looks a little ratty". I mean, that's the appeal of the dive or the hole-in-the-wall; you're hoping the lack of care and detail in decor went into the quality of the food.
33 years ago come December, my wife and I stopped at a rundown looking place called The Red Snapper Inn in Surfside Texas. They served Greek seafood and it was outstanding. We managed to stop every time after that when in Texas and now I understand it closed. At one point they were given I believe 4 stars for their food but now we will never be able to stop there again.
Lobster Landing. Give the little guys a break. Their arms are extremely short with claws for hands. That makes holding paint brushes very difficult and reaching the top part of the chimney impossible. Probably hasn’t been painted since it was built.
The "looks a little ratty" ones are the best. There was a similar place in Sneads Ferry, NC called The Green Turtle. It sold the best She-Crab soup ever. Unfortunately, the state took the land it sat on to make a boat ramp. We lost a treasure with that loss.
My kinda place
ReplyDeleteThere are still places like this in Maine, but this one is in Connecticut.

ReplyDeleteThere was places like that in Maine, 1970s, outside looked like shacks, till you saw the massive Lobsters on those racks!
ReplyDeleteI’d eat there
ReplyDeleteThose are the best places to get a lobster roll. I’ve eaten in many shitholes like that and have never regretted it.
ReplyDeleteLooks a "little" ratty? It looks really ratty.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't eat anything "that breathes water", it's a no-never mind to me.
