the rix mix

Walked around what I hope will be my next neighborhood in Elizabeth. Then stepped off train in Rahway to the terrible sight of the building that housed the Waiting Room Bar in ruins, knocked down in under six hours. The only "everyman" tavern in the downtown. Perhaps it will relocate on the next block, near the French restaurant I hear the Mayor plans on opening. A French restaurant, fer cripessake! Can Jim Kennedy tell the difference between a Manet & a Norman Rockwell. much less know a Manet from a Monet? Not that we expect politicians to be arts literate - although I wish we could. I don't believe it's totally a travail de l'amour for hizzoner - but there's also a liquor license - Le Bar à Le Jardin de Maire Kennedy sur la rue d'Irving automatically becomes a required stop for local Democrats & la bourgeoisie blanche avec les immobiliers on the Watering Hole tour.

Pardon my imperfect French, but too many people in this city are believing la merde n'a aucune odeur.
