Street Fair

Sunday morning Daveen noticed a lot of cars parked on the street in front of our house.

“Someone must be having a party,” she said.

As it turned out, it was a party. A big party! A Street Fair that stretched for many city blocks along Ventura Boulevard.

For lunch Daveen was ordering take-out, but apparently Door Dash wouldn’t allow me to remove the blue cheese from my preferred BLT.  But since I like to kill as many birds as possible with a single stone – I had a bright idea.

Last week ACF signed a new lease at a shopping center we manage in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Our new tenant there is Dave’s Hot Chicken. There is also a Dave’s on Ventura Boulevard not far from our house.

So I decided to take my daily walk to Dave’s, check them out for myself, and enjoy the street fair on my way. Isn’t it wonderful when you can turn an obstacle into an opportunity?

I’m happy to report that Dave’s fried chicken is pretty good, although they seem to think that “light spice” means “lots of spice.”  (It could be me. I just don’t like much spice on my chicken.)  I now believe that their new store in Arkansas will perform well.

Daveen is vegan, so no fried chicken for her. But I appreciated my brief experience of the street fair and next year I’m looking forward to enjoying the fair with Daveen.

Though I’ll probably stick to tacos, and maybe some ice cream.
