A melting pot or a mixed platter?

I never paid attention to diversity in Boston until last night.

After a stressful day at school, I just wanted to relax. RedSox wanted to see me and suggested dinner at a new restaurant I had mentioned.

I went to gym, showered, felt refreshed... decided I wanted to go someplace different for dinner. I made a reservation for Bob's Southern Bistro.

I had been to this restaurant when it was formerly known as Bob the Chefs. It is a great place for music and comfort food. Last night was no different.

As we sipped our drinks and listened to music, I couldn't help but look around at all the diners. There was quite the mix of people. Black, white, asian, older, younger. Even the band was black, white and asian. I loved it!

The evening didn't stop there. We continued on to Wally's where we experienced the same diversity as we met up with friends. I was the only non-white person in our group. I never thought about it before, but I had to bring up the topic of diversity in conversation.

My friend Madge talked about diversity around the world and country, saying Denver was one of the worst cities. People apparently make racist comments all over, and no one thinks twice about it.

It should be interesting when I go to Denver next month...
