More interesting stores disappearing

February 16th, 2008 | Share on Facebook

Two more Arlington/DC independent stores are closing its doors. The amazing Orpheus records in Arlington and Candida's World Of Books, which is an international book-store. We are saddened by this as our hometown of Arlington will just bring another CVS in its wake and more of the same. Fortunately, some independent stores still strive but how long will it last and will people ever champion the independent store in favor of the big chain? We are not sure.. but in our minds the american dream was a family run business and not a big chain of sameness.

A Sad Day

February 11th, 2008 | Share on Facebook

Upon playing our show at Black Cat on Feb. 10th - we came back to find out that our favorite Diner, BOB & EDITH'S (location 2 - a.k.a. "the big bob & e's" is permanently closed. We made due with some late night meals at the small BOB & EDITH'S ... but it quite not the same. One familiar face in the waiter working filled us on some of the other smiling waiters that would greet us on our previous visits to location 2. A particular waitress we inquired of was Nancy, the mayan goddess of good fortune, who was no longer to be found... however it is rumored that she returned to the yucatan peninsula. One can only hope life is good there and she will be one of the many missed from our favorite Diner in recent times. R.I.P. Bob & Edith's Location 2. You were good to us. Tonight's meals: Hamburger Steak w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans, Grilled Cheese, and a legendary Bob & Edith's Tuna Melt.
