The Mighty Mo is back! You
locals (or visitors) will be thrilled to know that the Mighty Mo has be=
en
resurrected at Revival, a restaurant at the Marriott Key Bridge
Hotel. Rusty Johnson, Barbara Johnson and Jan Tupper will
testify to its absolute authenticity. The restaurant manager, a D=
.C.
local of our age, reported that a customer had the audacity to
come in and order it with French fries instead of onion
rings! The manager was aghast. She also tells us =
that
a group of 20 people came up from the Eastern Shore just to dig in.&nbs=
p;
If you're in the vicinity, it's worth it. And they serve Gifford's ice
cream. (We also have to mention that having a Might Mo with a gla=
ss
of Pinot Noir or a bottle of Bud is pretty cool.)
According to Bethesda Magazine,
B-CC students are now eating lunch at Cosi,
Chipotle, Potbelly, and McDonald's. They don't know what they're
missing.

On a not so happy note, we've <=

also learned t=

the funky Zebra Lounge (a hangout for the more adventurous among u=

is no more. Even more discouraging for its former aficionados, it's
been replaced by a sleek yuppie wine bar.

![](3D"newsletter_9-08_files/image005.jpg") How many of you remember "=
Beer
Dave,"
a notorious Hot Shop habitue who wore a bla=
ck
leather motorcycle jacket festooned with beer can openers? OK, so
it's probably a niche group; but just in case you ever wondered about D=
ave,
he went to California and wrote a book called Raising Hell, " . . =
. a
contemporary novel [1963] of modern juvenile delinquency told from the
standpoint of the delinquents themselves, under the nom de plume of Dave
Jay" (real name Dave Riskinski?). Book
available at Amazon.com. No kidding!
