BLUE RIBBON DINNER

ON MONDAY NIGHT I WENT TO BLUE RIBBON ON 5TH AVE IN PARK SLOPE, FUNNY AS BLUE RIBBON USED TO BE SPINNERS, WHICH WAS AN ITALIAN SUPERMARKET MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD SHOP AT. WE STARTED WITH A DOZEN OYSTERS AND A SHRIMP COCKTAIL FOLLOWED BY STEAK FOR TWO, A 40-OZ PORTERHOUSE. AND TOPPED IT OFF WITH A BANANA SPLIT. WITH A FEW DRINKS SPRINKLED IN DINNER WAS GREAT. BUT I WAS THINKING OF YEARS PAST AND REMEMBERING GOING UP AND DOWN THE ASILES WITH THE SHOPPING CART. THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING.

ARTWALK A DUD

ON SUNDAY I WAS ON ATLANTIC AVE FOR THE ART WALK, NOT MANY PEOPLE CHECKING IT OUT. WEATHER HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT BUT ALSO NOT MANY EXHIBITS.

OPENING NIGHT

PROSPECT PARK CONCERT SERIES OPENS ON THURSDAY NIGHT WITH ISSAC HAYES. ADMISSION IS FREE WITH $3.00 RECOMMENDED FEE. ENJOY THE SHOW.

THE HEAT IS ON

WITH THE WEATHER BEING CLOSE TO 100 THE PAST FEW DAYS AND TOURS GOING ON AS SCHEDULED IT'S BEEN TO HOT TO STAY IN HOUSE OR BLOG.................
