Le Capitole
July 2, 2002 - 12:30 p.m.
A place big enough to accomodate both eaters and drinkers
during the lunch rush, of which I am grateful. My circular table
is marbled light pastel green with a silver edge. The chairs
are wicker with brown and green plastic caning. I was given two
packets of sugar cubes with my espresso.
Across the street is a Monoprix store in a rather amazing
building with large, elaborate arches around the top and stone
urns on the upper terraces and "F Potin" carved in
big letters, who I suppose is the architect. Close to me is a
"No Good Gofers" pinball game, which seems to be a
spinoff of the movie "Caddyshack." The lights hanging
above are mottled peach cylinders with flat metal bullet-ridden
hourglasses circling around them.
