Post VI -Colonial Inn, Inc.

This is a quick/short entry (about the food anyhow).  Couple of weeks ago, I was going out to Cato to see "Footloose" and decided to get some lunch whilst I was out there.  The Cato Diner was closed for the day, so I doubled back and went to the Colonial Inn, Inc.

By the way, this is actually the name of the place- it's on the building and everything.  It was fairly dim inside.  Not dark, just not brightly lit.  There was, of course, bar seating.  Also a couple tables.  In addition to the ubiquitous pool tables, they also had darts and shuffleboard.

I asked what they had for a lunch menu, and the choice (singular) was a microwave hamburger and some chips.  As far as it went, it was pretty good...I had a Pepsi with it.

The real treat here was the combination of the old guys at the bar and the sign at the pool table.

Old guys had a couple of odd/entertaining quotes

• "I think marijuana should be legal in New York.  I never smoked it, but I grew it a few times"
• "I hate driving downtown.  You can never find any of the streets.  The cab drivers could though...they were all Arabian and couldn't speak English, but they could find any street."
• "You want to see a paper with nothing in it, you should see the [Auburn] Citizen!"

The pool table sign?  Most of it was standard, but there were a couple good bits.

• Money breaks (Standard)
• Combo off your own ball (Standard)
• No riders on table (Does this refer to people heading someplace and getting a lift from the table, or that there is no separate insurance coverage on the table?)
• Ball off table $.25 for Juke Box (I like this idea!)
• Sink the 8 ball on the break, free drink.

The sign over the TV might have been my favorite though-

• "You!  Yeah, you!!  DON'T touch the TV"

Not sure I'd go for lunch again, but for a drink or to see a band?  Probably.
