My waitress has informed me of a 1.99 burrito offered at a Mexican restaurant along Apple Avenue, one of the former Pablo Taco facilities I am betting. She doesn't know how the house can afford to offer the special. I am guessing that facility still has its liquor license. Driving here along the Lakeshore Drive, I was happy to see a new antique store and a chicken and rib joint open in Lakeside, near Ghezzi's Market and the pocket park. Happily, I noted the solar collectors gathering sunshine to keep the inhabitants of the women's shelter warm. I guess the newly rebuilt men's shelter has solar panels too, the new facility standing near the Time Out Saloon, on the side of Laketon east of Business 31.
The three dollar plate of fried rice comes to the table with drawbacks, packed with excess sodium and cooking oil. Yet, I enjoy the entire portion. I had almonds, lightly salted for breakfast but one good meal doesn't balance out a hearty but iffy luncheon choice. Deep down, I luncheon mostly for a change of setting and to hear new voices. Today, I rapped with a front lawn mechanic about maintenance for his used Bonneville. The prosperous farmers on the border of Shiawassee and Genessee counties all seemed to have driven Bonnie's in the early 1980s.
