The room is a jam- packed maze of tables, counters and bars, with all the tapas symbols in place: hanging hams and sausages, ropes of garlic and peppers, and sides of dried salt codfish. Noise, music, tiles and fake Spanish paintings (a not- quite- Picasso Guernica here, a playful pseudo-Miro there) attract yuppies of all ages, who begin to line up at 6:30 every evening.

The community comes ablaze - forgetting for a while the gritty realities of its plight...
...well, Mr. and Ms. Codfish, you can cat my additives for me. But, alas, upon sober reflection, I guess that in the balance, and for the moment, at least, I'm sold on Feedback in its present format.
