Just curious...How'd you know they were idiots, if you couldn't hear what they were saying? What, were they wearing jeans, white tennis shoes and leather jackets?

I think I'll use this as a long needed excuse to spend my overnight cash elsewhere for six nights a month.
My Beer Money could care less where it is spent.

But it will be handed over to someone other than F Street from now on.

As little as two years ago, it really was a much better place to go as there was a pretty good mix of folks there from many walks, not just pilots. I've met surgeons, fishermen, north slope types, politicians and some local talent just out having a good time . But more and more the backwards baseball cap, nose ring, what do you mean I can't get an 80K job with a failed GED wanna-be rap star types have infested the place. And much of the local talent is trying to get a glimpse of a second tier hockey player that occasionally wanders in with an entourage. Like everything else, this place is changing, in this case not for the better. Good thing it isn't a one bar town.

Is it just me or does it seem to others that this thread has outlived its usefulness? Having said that, I do understand that there's still someone in Borneo who hasn't heard about the goings-on at the F Street, so perhaps we should continue. What's strange is that we've not gotten any recent information from the principals in this now-legendary event.

The local nose-ring hockey wannabes hunted them down and fed them to the grizzlies on the bike trail.

You know . .the Sixth Amendment Constitutional principle of 'facing your accuser' . . No one left to testify at trial.

Walked by "F" Street last night around 8:30PM on my way over to Humpys. Some people were in there consuming beverages and having dinner but no where near the normal amount of customers. Of course it was Thursday night and all those kids could have been home studying for there algebra exam. However over at Humpys it was a full house. Actually it was a little tough finding a spot to sit. After watching the cubs lose and a few beers and tacos I walked back to the Hilton. Passing by "F" street and peering in the crowd attendance was way down in my opinion. May be different on this Friday night. Still I'll go to somewhere else to eat/drink...................

Has anyone ever found Calamari as good as it is/was at 'F' Street?

Dang, I am sure missing that!

That's very mean spirited. Perhaps the funniest thing I've read on here in a long time.
