Euchre/Poker Night at Above Chava

May 16, 2013 from 7pm to 11pm
Its been a while....Come on out Thursday night and play some cards - My poker chips are getting rusty so its time to put them to use.  Poker, Euchre or whatever you want goes.  It should be amazing out this week and what a better way to end the evening by riding over, playing some cards, enjoying the cheese frattata (I wont be making that FYI, it just sounded nice to say) and drinking some spirits.See you on Thursday!See More

"I don't understand why a bike isn't allowed? If you mean free it wasn't any time I did it but for $10 you can bring it on and put it the luggage area or take it aprt and put it on the luggage rack. A few years ago a long distance…"

Mike Zumwalt replied to Gene Tenner's discussion 'Mayor wants to increase fines for reckless cyclists, motorists'
"Yeah and no drivers are dicks to other drivers or cyclists. How many pedestrians are hit and killed by bikes? I'm for properly planned bike lanes and not endangering innocent children and old ladies with canes. All the bike lanes I see are on…"

Mike Zumwalt replied to Gene Tenner's discussion 'Mayor wants to increase fines for reckless cyclists, motorists'

Mike Zumwalt replied to Gene Tenner's discussion 'Mayor wants to increase fines for reckless cyclists, motorists'
"I'd be for that, especially "up north" comeing down Winthrop, Wolcott, or any other road in light traffic. Red lights should be stopped for and I rarely push them but on a holiday weeken or a Sunday, just stop look LRL then go.  "
