Life in "Progress" City

I know the first thing I do when choosing a restaurant for the Gekko's to go to is make sure they have enough bouncers on staff.

OK, I'm kidding. See, out here in Redville, we don't need bouncers in restaurants, that's a creation exclusively for those "progressive" areas of town.

But, you know, we do lose something for entertainment in Redville. We don't get to witness bouncers being shot outside of the restaurant...
A patron shot two bouncers late Tuesday outside Vito’s restaurant, 7750 Reading Rd., Cincinnati police said.

The bouncers asked two customers to leave after some sort of dispute inside the foyer area about 10 p m., said Sgt. Calvin Johnson.

The patrons left the restaurant, but one of them retrieved a gun from a vehicle and fired at the bouncers. One was shot in the foot, and the other was grazed in the arm, Johnson said.


Yeah, call me a wimp, but the next time I take the lovely Mrs. Gekko out for Italian, I think we'll just go to Bravo's out here in Mason where we don't have to worry about gunned downed bouncers.

The good news is, with an Obama presidency and a democratic congress, the whole US can be as "progressive" as the inner city.

Mason is "Redville"? Dang bro, most people around here think they ARE in Cincinnati when they get to Mason. Of course, several of our fine citizens still have horses and buggies and refer to the rest of us as "English."

Of course Mason is "Redville".

We have all the amenities of the city except for shootings, muggings, high taxes, bad schools, graffiti, and democrats.
