We’re well impressed with it, too. Makes us smile whenever we see it. “It’s pretty great, because it’s reflective,” D says. “It’s got a mirror back.” He’s sending me an illustrative photo thereof. I’ll edit this post to include it.

Gritty would’ve stood his ground, then got the bear drunk after beating it in a wrassling match. They’d have gone off together in search of batteries to huck at opposing teams and innocent robots to beat up and leave in a ditch.
China Swede was a derogatory term used for Finnish immigrants in the United States during the early 1900s, particularly in northern Minnesota and Upper Michigan. Another term was roundhead.
I’ve been in three of those – the one at The Fountain On Locust several times.
(It’s a cool restaurant – all art deco, a former Stutz car dealership, with really good ice cream (and ice cream martinis), interesting soups and possibly the world’s best grilled cheese sandwich.)
Also, while the Fountain’s restrooms are gendered, there’s a “Ladies” and a “Men’s / Ladies”, both are single toilets with a locking door. I kind of want to write to them to see if they’d be willing use less binary terms or make them both all-gender. They do some cool special drinks and desserts for Pride month so they might be up for it.
