Lazy Mex Lounge


I admit it, every now and then I do take a siesta. On Saturdays I wear an oversided straw hat and im known to knock down tequila straight out the bottle. I'm a burrito bean eating, Mass-church going, thick mustache having kinda Mexican. Pos nimodo, as my Ama used to say. That got me thinking as I was surging on Flickr, some stereotypes, pos, they are just plain-ol true.

See I ran across this picture on Flickr of an old bar (?) on Sanber Ave, called the Lazy Mex Lounge (im sure you've seen it). I'm not sure when it closed down or what it is now, but the name still upsets and irritates some. I however, am not part of that vocal minority. I snicker at it, for sure. Just wish it was still open today, so I could take a siesta and drink some mezcal (a poco no?).

I wasn't aware that it closed down. I went in for a cold one a few months ago. I was the only one in the place, granted, it was around 6 p.m.
