During my very very short stint as a cabby with Broadway I often found myself checked into the less popular 'zones'. You see, the computer in the cab had the city all divided up into zones and you could see how many drivers were checked in ahead of you in each zone's queue. Most of the cars hung out downtown, or at the airport, or in the trendy hoods with all the bars. I never checked into a zone that had more than one or two cars in it.
Interstate ave is smack dab in the middle of these less popular zones. I spent alot of time sitting in the taco bell parking lot just north of the Alibi waiting for a fare to pop up. Anyway, my fares were often pimps and dealers. These guys were actually my favorite. They kept me occupied for hours, driving from one place to the next, sitting and waiting in the cab with the meter running while they did hell knows what in this house or that hotel room. Anyway, they never balked at what the meter said, tipped well, and were polite and business-like.

These people inevitably had business at the Palms.

No juicy story to go with the post, sorry. Thats just what I think about when I see the Palms.

For a dive catering to the seemy underbelly, they've done a pretty good job keeping the sign buzzing.

Hooray for the Palms!
