the prospective lessee stressed that it would be catering to a 50+ audience probably bc she thought that we'd be put out by a new bar next door but little does she know i used to dream of days like this

dive bar next to my store that closed down not bc of all the teenagers that drank and threw up there but because of something far more complicated- is getting dry walled and allegedly might become a jazz/blues bar and i will be a day one patron

Very briny, crunchy, a little bit of a grit (presumably from the eggs the larger one was laying) tastes very much of Crab™️, very interesting experience wise!

Oyster crabs! Crabs in my oysters!
