Brother Can You Spare a Dime

So Mr. Dime & I went out to dinner and the theater on Saturday night. This is the first time we have gone to the theater in the midwestern city we recently moved to and we discovered that our dining options are much more limited than in The City that Never Sleeps.

We wound up at a swanky, over-priced place because of a lack of planning ahead and a desire not to walk more than 1/2 mile. The restaurant had as its only option a "tasting menu" that was guaranteed to have no means of inexpensive escape. Meanwhile, the music system is playing covers of old 1930s songs. When "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" came on all I could think was -- these people don't have a clue.
