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

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.

What are you seeing?

[Horace]

Moulin Rouge.

[Mik]

Good show. You’ll like it I think.

Aren’t those Reubens great?
