A Trip Down Memory Lane

My friend Stuart (pictured above) and I had pizza and beer last night at the Old Chicago Restaurant on South Colorado Boulevard here in Denver.  Over dinner, we reminisced about how we used to come here when it was a restaurant and bar called Fenway Park.  I believe the owners were trying to target all the Boston Red Sox baseball fans living here in Denver.  Not a good business strategy.  Those 5 guys - plus Stuart and I - were the only customers the place ever got.  Eventually Old Chicago took over the location, and the place has been jammed with ex-Chicagoans ever since.  It is especially lively when the White Sox (from the city's South Side) play the North Side Cubs.  Emotions are highly charged, fists fly, and Old Style beer flows freely.  Then everybody settles down, gets into a reflective mood, and we all start to ask the bigger questions in life, such as "why the hell did we ever drink Old Style back there?"
