they close the City Tavern in Philadelphia:
An iconic Philadelphia restaurant has been forced to close its doors and turn away booked parties because of the government shutdown.
City Tavern at 3rd and Walnut Streets in the Old City section of the city has been told it must close until the U.S. Congress passes a spending bill.
The restaurant, which opened for the first time in 1773 and was frequented by the nation's founding fathers, sits inside Independence National Historical Park and the building is owned by the U.S. National Parks Service.
If you think about it, the current state of affairs in Washington shouldn't surprise anyone. It's ending up exactly how most ideas (and ideals) formed by a handful of drinking buddies hanging out in a bar normally do, it's just taken over 200 years for things to fall apart.
"Why yes, yes I will have another."
