right angles

The Aloha Bar at Fruitvale Avenue and the train tracks below E. 12th St.  Yes, these really are the colors it's painted.  Their slogan is "the longest bar and coldest beer in town."  And no, I haven't been inside to verify these claims.  But there's always plenty of vehicles parked outside.

    «Louis» has never ventured into this bar, either. It has always struck him as being a good place to have a beer bottle broken over his head or worse...

    «Louis» has added a link to your blog in his right sidebar.

    I wondered if the comment Louis made wasn't true. The owner of the place should at least get recognition as a colorist.

    By the way, thanks for the comment. I am a big R. Crumb fan and a friend of Mr. Natural. He's smart, he's cool, he plays it to the hilt and he knows what diddy-wa-diddy means.

    Bob--Not to mention Mr. Natural's mantra "Keep on truckin..." Wait, is that the Grateful Dead I hear in the background?
