Sushi

[Ashcan Bill]

I hit a sushi restaurant at least once a week. When the various specialty rolls first started appearing I wasn't too jazzed, but over the years I've come to accept and enjoy a few of them.

When I first moved into our city, it was still pretty rural. Urban spread hadn't reached quite this far yet. The old bowling alley still had a sign posted about not spitting juice on the floor. There was exactly one sushi restaurant operating here. Now 25 years later there's almost as many sushi joints as there are Starbucks. Fascinating how popular it's become over time.

The alley finally took the sign down too.
