It was obvious walking into the Mandlay Club next to the Lafayette hotel in downtown Rockford that this place was a dump. There were only three old middle aged men seating sequentially by each other but not too near each other.
The three dweebs were remarking on the incredible success of Chicago Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber who was like 5 hits in his first eight at bats and somehow this was the only topic if discussion for the half hour while I waited for my Backpage.com escort happy ending massage in next doors decrepit and scary urban hotel. Lyle kept telling Gus about the possibilities of the Chicago Cubs while fellow Boone County hick Leonard sip his beer and agreed with everything about the prospects of the Chicago Cubs 2015 team to finally reach the playoffs. They debated whether a team like the Chicago cubs could reach the playoffs now with the format change even if they finished in third place in the Central division. There was no talk about the upcoming 2016 election nor the TTP trade pact that congress is trying to shove down onto the American working public.
There was no talk about the state of the economy of Rockford and how there are like no jobs and the second largest city in Illinois is also the second most dangerous city per capita in the nation. No the topic of this night among these three losers and likely repeated among bars in the greater Rockford area was most likely pertaining to sports whether baseball or the US Open golf tournament. I see this shit all of the tie the number of years I owned the Itasca Inn in Itasca Illinois and it is shameful to see this in an even ore depressed city and region of the state of Illinois
