Knowing and being known

Linda Miskin’s excellent series continues at the Model Cafe, in business for 87(!) years.

On any given night of the week if there are 50 or so people here, I probably know about 30 of them and they know each other. We are grateful for the support we get from our regular customers.

That seems pretty remarkable for an area as transient as this. And beyond that, there’s also the whole novelty vs. regularity thing – I seriously doubt I go into any given bar or restaurant frequently enough to be recognized by the owner. This city has too many new places to try to drink yourself into known-dom.
