BarFly's Review of Rialto Corner Bar and OTB
Is it maybe a little weird for an off-track betting parlor to be well-lit with a new coat of paint and cute bartenders? Shouldn't these places be dark holes where you're lucky if the nasty old fucker ignoring your request for a lukewarm can of beer doesn't finally pay attention to you by putting out his cigar on your forehead?
Well, the Rialto's adjunct paycheck-taker is a far friendlier place, though it stakes a perfectly reasonable claim for legitimacy in the form of a regular cadre of semi-coherent old men huddled over racing forms and occasionally walking/wheeling/one-leggedly-crutching over to the machines to bet on a greyhound named Man Chowder* to show, and letting loose with old Navy curses when yet another Social Security check is magically transported to Michael Vick's semi-legit cousin in Florida.
Good times. For real.
*Seriously, this dog exists. We lost money on him when he fell down and started running the wrong way. Somewhere here, there's a metaphor.
