Bad Democrat

The first time I drove through West Virginia, I stopped at a restaurant in Charleston that was one of those good medium places with big windows overlooking a city street and like, a spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette as well as bar and grill food like a grilled chicken sandwich. It was normally priced. I noticed that I have a much harder time finding those types of places now, and by the way, that restaurant has been closed for a while. If you don’t have the mainstay not making a big statement or ultra specific places that don’t burn a hole in your pocket, then everywhere you are going is standing out in your mind and on your credit card. I noticed that some of those places closed in other cities as well and I think there may be malicious actors at play. Sorry to sound so conspiratorial, but I’m not. Those places are closing and they’re not not well frequented.
