Last night, as I shuffled down St Martins Lane on my way to dinner, I couldn’t help casting a glance towards Cantina Laredo. Everything looked the same as my previous visit – the phalanx of superfluous staff huddled around the entrance, the hotel buffet décor, the tourist clientele.

“We’re going to see what all the fuss is about,” said Anne Nelson, 34, a McDaniel College philosophy professor who at the bottom of the fourth inning, stood at the end of the line — still snaking all the way back to first base. “I’m a vegetarian, so it’s rarely worth it for me to spend $300 on dinner.” Attendance was 7,315 — more than double a usual Tuesday night turnout, said Keys public relations director Adam Pohl, who said he hoped a Volt concession stand could be reprised annually.

The gruff waiters and rowdy patrons found in cheap restaurants of the 19th century provided rich inspiration to story tellers. No story was more popular than the “Lone Fish Ball” which was published in newspapers before being turned into a favorite college song around 1854 (attributed to a Harvard professor of Latin), translated into Italian, and even performed in Tableaux Vivants.

For someone who loves gardening, I have never really pursued growing bonsai plants before.
