When was the last time you saw a shoe shine guy?

[LuFins Dad]

Saw one at the Washington Club a few weeks ago. Bathroom attendant, too.

Today at Union Station

Curiously they still have the chairs at CVG, but they are unstaffed. All the hotels out here in Vegas have them.

I remember short lines at O’Hare waiting for one to open up.

I used to use them quite a bit when I flew in suits and dress shoes. No more.

I still occasionally fly in a suit when I have a meeting in Boston or DC, but nowhere else. If I saw a shoe shine guy I’d probably use him, especially after this thread put it back in my mind. It’s not like I shine them myself. Though I’ll wipe them with a towel at a hotel.

I think he's probably too busy shining people's shoes to meet up

Just passing through, visiting my brother in Burke. Now we’re in NYC for a couple days. Just had my first ridiculous sized Reuben at a deli near the hotel. Tonight will be my first broadway show. I’m not starring or anything, I mean just in the audience.

[jon-nyc]

What are you seeing?

[Horace]

Moulin Rouge.

[Mik]

Good show. You’ll like it I think.

Aren’t those Reubens great?
