A Bar or a Spaceship?

 

Every time I stop at the red light situated across form this bar, restaurant (I am not really sure of what to call it) I am amazed by its size. On weekends it is packed, people inside and out eating, drinking and laughing their blues away. During the week, the tables are not even set up on the sidewalks and very few people are inside. Guess it is due to time and money.

They opened just a few months before the pandemic hit. Surprisingly, they survived. For sure, I thought they would belly up. They started delivering just like many other places did. To be honest, I have never walked in nor even walked on the sidewalk. It is just on my way home.

The other night I need to work late and when I approached the light, I noticed that the bar was all lit up. To me it seemed like a spaceship like the one in the movie Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. Holly, it took my breath away in the literal sense. So much energy being wasted to lit up that humongous building. The people that live in the surrounding area also came to mind. Imagine that you need not curtains but blackout curtains on every window that faces the bar so you will not be bothered at night.

Bet you, the people in the surrounding area do wish it were a spaceship and jus lifted all the loud drunk people away. I have a friend who leaves three doors down from the bar who says that the lights are not an issue for her, but the noise is.

What do you think? Could it be a spaceship?
