RE: (erielack) Three Strikes and I'm Out

The restaurant in Edgewater is "The Binghamton" and while it's not completely intact, the interior's
less mutilated that one might expect, at least in the public areas.  I have no idea about the
kitchen.  The ELHS used to hold Spring Meetings there until the help got to be so much third-world
that they didn't understand English, like "I didn't order chicken." "My fork is dirty, can I have
another one?" and so on, plus the food was arriving cold, when it wasn't supposed to be cold.  Very
much too bad, I kind of liked the correlation between our topic and the venue.

Has any lister been there lately?
