Old Is Underrated!

Often times old is underrated!

This is a +120 year old original interior brick wall at Table Mesa; a restaurant on The Square in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas.  The building that this restaurant is housed in has no doubt been occupied by dozens of businesses over the years, dating back to the mid to late 19th century.  Patrons of long ago businesses at this location would have included folks who road into town on a horse or bounced in on a buggy.  These days, this place is frequented by a broadly diverse group of patrons ranging from those who arrive by modest means to "The Few, The Proud...the $5000 bicycle crowd".

Personally, I like older "previously used" things that have character and come with a story.  I've always told my bride of 36 years that if she ever "runs off" with the neighbor's pool boy, I'd probably eventually be on the look out for an older woman, as youth is largely overrated.  Not that there's anything wrong with being young.  Some of my best friends are "Yutes".  (What movie did the lead character refer to kids as "Yutes"?)  

Regarding old and not so old, I'll try to keep you posted.

P.S. If you found "Old and Ridiculous" through the Pioneer Log Homes of BC website, welcome to NW Arkansas-SW Missouri.  If you stumbled onto it while trying to find a YouTube video on how to rebuild the carburetor on a 1955 John Deere Utility Tractor.....AWESOME FOR YOU!
