working shoe shine booths in Lambert Airport in St. Louis too. (At least we did the last time I was there, which hasn't been more than a couple of years.)
: That is creepy as hell.
: When i first moved down here three years ago, I passed the capital building and they had ole glory flying high...in a place like Flint or Detroit you would be shot for waving a rebel flag, and here these people have it hovering there capital building. Turns out to be part of the state flag for Georgia...
: ...and at the airport, Hartsfield, one of the largest and busiest in the states, they have elderly black men working shoe-shine booths.
: Shoe-shine booths!!!
: I looked and looked and not one elderly white man was stationed at any of them.
: some things down here are waaaay backward.
