I don’t know who I loved more—while filming this little video at The 5 Point Cafe’s 80th Anniversary yesterday—the lady who couldn’t WAIT to confess her decades-old dine-and-dash story, or the funny lady at 0:48 who told me they were there “celebrating a colonoscopy with cheap beer and bad service.”
The first time I ever went to The Five, back in ’98, someone read my tarot cards, I cured a hangover by drinking a bloody mary and eating a whole jalapeño pepper, um, I slipped and fell on my face ’cause someone spilled brown gravy on the floor… and then I went home and got laid. The 5 Point has a special kind of magic. The kind of magic that takes 80 years to brew. Everyone who I talked to yesterday had nothing but love for the place. Here’s to 80 more years! And shine on, you crazy diamond.
I looove the 5-Point. Great food and Bloody Marys. I even got lucky with one of their waitresses. Ahh, memories.
wow, this looks just like the bars I was trying to escape from when I lived in bumblefuck….
how funny.
@ 1 – me too!
@2 yeah… but ya get away long enough, ya get the nostalgic twinges.
Great video, Stranger! I’d like to see more little shorts like this featured.
