City Last Friday in Review
Posted by Dominic Holden on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 10:46 AM
I hadn't been thinking about foie gras, but the NARN protesters have been showing up every weekend outside Lark and Quinn's chanting about, talking about, and passing out flyers about the delicious, rich, buttery delight that is foie gras. They wanted us to think about it, and I couldn't evict the thought from my mind. So last Friday, a good friend and I poured some Champagne and devoured a giant bloc de foie gras.
Thank you for the great idea, NARN. Meanwhile, Critical Mass was winding though the streets of downtown, blocking traffic and irritating rush-hour drivers. Here they are, happily disobeying the rules of the road on Fifth Avenue:
And in the Midwest, the Des Moines city council was getting real about how to handle the insufferable, unpredictable killers known as Pit Bulls:
A Des Moines City Council member has come out in favor of a pit bull ban while local leaders weigh tougher regulations on breeds of dogs deemed vicious in the city code.Councilwoman Christine Hensley said the volume of complaints and concerns she's fielded about pit bulls over the years has moved her to back a ban.
What an excellent Friday.
