Cyberstalking is Fun with Good ol' Mike

We had big plans for a fancy dinner last night, but our date had family obligations and couldn't make it. So, instead, we had an easygoing dinner at The Chicken Pie Shop, a San Diego landmark.

This restaurant, which originally was in Hillcrest (before Hillcrest "got all gay") and eventually moved to North Park, is 72 years old. And it caters to people around that age, and much older. The food is cheap, extremely bland and abundant. For about $10, you get a chicken entree, salad, mashed potatoes, vegetables, sometimes soup and dessert.

Mark had the fried chicken dinner (I told him to look excited.)

And I had the Chicken Pie Dinner with a side of split pea soup.

Inside, the walls are covered in fake wood panelling, the lighting is all fluorescent and there are little chicken statues everywhere.

It's a legend!

Hi Ed! See?

The weather is very agreeable today in beautiful downtown San Diego. Inspired by wooferstl, I tried to capture my lunchtime with a few third person shots.

The below shot is my favorite. I call it "fail". :)

On my way to my little reading spot, near the convention center, I saw a pile of empty Natural Ice cans. Just then, a lady (presumably the consumer of the cans) said to me, "Hey baby, what's yo name?" I almost asked her to say it again, for a video, but I chickened out. Maybe on my way back to the office.

I love you, San Diego.
