Last weekend, momma_cheese was a bride's maid in a wedding. Naturally the entire cheese clan was in attendance. What made this particular wedding interesting, though, is the fact that the bride is a friend of momma_cheese' from high school, and as one might imagine, a number of people were in attendance that the cheese had not seen since the Centennial days.
One of these people, in fact, was a guy we will refer to as "unnamed male classmate." Well it so happens that unnamed male classmates still lives in Crown Town. He is, in fact, now an officer on Corona PD (sidenote: the groom is also a cop in Corona, though he attended high school in Riverside). So at one point the cheese finds himself in the restroom with unnamed male classmate, and is asked the question "What have you been up to."
"Graduate school, getting an MA in English and MFA in Creative Writing," responds the cheese.
"You gonna write for the Press-Enterprise or what?"
Let's stop here for just one moment and reflect on this question. First off, the Riverside Press-Enterprise is THE WORST metropolitan paper in all of California, and possibly the country. If the horizon of your imagination only goes so far as to equate the Press-Enterprise with an MFA in Creative Writing, then clearly you are a person to be ignored. Sadly, the cheese did not, at this point, turn his back on unnamed male classmate...
"Uh, no...We'd still be living in San Francisco, actually, if not for grad. school."
"San Francisco?"
"Yeah, we lived there for five years."
"Aren't there a lot of homo's there?"
At this point the cheese had to force down the impulse to ask unnamed male classmate if he were functionally retarded....or respond with "no, everything you've heard about the City is false, I never met one homo when I was there, but it's crawling with dykes"....or simply ripping out unnamed male classmate's eye. This came from a guy you still lives in, and works on the police force of, the city he was born and raised in. If this is what happens when someone stays close to their "roots" the cheese is forcing all of his kids to move at least 1000 miles away from home for college, or better yet, he'll ship them all overseas cause there aren't any "homo's" in Europe...

The police force is one step above the marines, and they are a baby step above retarded. This classmate didn't look high on the things to do list it appears.
I'd think Miguel's might just create a new location because everyone one of use that lives in the OC, and reads this blog would indeed visit said restraunt enough to keep it open.
