I once asked a European friend what he admired most about Americans- he said that he totally respected the ingenuity of Americans and our “Cowboy-like Mentality”. I asked him for clarification on his statement and he said he appreciated our ability to act decisively and to try new things. I just came across the perfect example of this and can’t wait to share it with him.
While the property manager was less than enthused about Mr. Kevie’s new-found entrepreneurial skills, I admire Mr. Kevie for his gumption. He not only re-opened the bar, he stocked the bar himself with beer from a local store across the street and brought in thirsty customers. His only mistake was letting the local news interview him for the story- it may be hard to believe, but police officers DO read the news as well.
If you really think about it, Mr. Kevie probably saved the empty bar from being vandalized or turned into a crack house- perhaps he should have been given a medal instead of arrested. Here’s to hoping that his sentence (if any) is light.
