Thanksgiving at Pete’s
One of my favorite things about Jacksonville is the fact that you can go to Pete’s at Neptune Beach at 9 am on Thanksgiving day and drink beer and Bloody Marys through until 2 pm. Sure it means leaving 32210 and crossing the ditch, but it is worth it. All sorts turn up, from the usual Pete’s ne’er do wells, to the beau monde of Jacksonville society. I went with one of my best drinking cronies and took some pictures.
Love it.
Pete's Native American contingent
The two girls above are named Summer Camp and Wind Dancer. They are Cherokee and Seminole, respectively, and COMPLETELY RULE……
Veronica's Veil
Jordyn and Randy from Veronica’s Veil put in an appearance. rivercityvibe will speak a lot more about these legends before they abandon these shores for Barcelona (you heard it here first). Jordyn was with her sister, who is EXTREMELY hot.
Very festive, Lori!
Lori had COMMITTED to the celebration. No prisoners.
- Brock rocks.
Brock was there, dressed after his usual fashion. We spent a long time discussing the fact that “Brock” is Old English for Badger.
Nicole and Allison. Something of a breath of fresh air......
We ran into Allison and Nicole on our way out. They have the rivercityvibe in spades. God bless ’em…….
[For our readers who are not fortunate enough to live in the river city I should point out that Pete’s is as famous as bars get, having featured in literature from Hemingway to Grisham (read The Brethren). It is also a proper bar, where people go to drink. Rare enough in these parts and in this day and age, and a concept that I wholeheartedly support].
Happy Thanksgiving!
