Depending on the time of day,
Big Al’s Grille can be a bustling place full of people, food, and laughter or
just another place on campus that no one seems to know existed. Late at night
it tends to be the campus hang out, especially with the addition of three new
televisions, including one that is 70 inches! There are many tables as well as
booths and even a bar with high chairs. Typically speaking, couples occupy the
booths, usually watching some sort of video on a laptop while clusters of
friends often enjoy food from Big Al’s around a table laughing and talking
loudly at the same time. The tables and chairs both show signs of years of use
and abuse but still serve their purposes well and are therefore not replaced.
The corner booth is a hot item, almost always in use no matter how large the
population in the room. Also the new light fixtures over the booths add a
decorative touch that goes well with the paint scheme and gives the place a
rustic, almost retro feel.
Like a colony of ants after their hill has been kicked
Like a pasture after the cows have been brought in
Big Al’s can be bustling full of people and laughter
Or it can be silent and make you wonder why here you have
gathered
Late nights tend to be when the crowd always forms
Maybe because of the new televisions, popular shows it
adorns
Tables and booths, chairs and benches
There’s even a bar where you can do your homework for
French class
Typically speaking the booths are for closeness
The couples are always there the looking atrocious
And the friends join around the square tables for four
But always there is made room for more
Looking around at the furniture collected
It all shows signs of the many years it’s been neglected
Still serving its purpose well
I’m sure for much longer, here it will dwell
The corner booth, finally finished
Is a hot item for sure
Whether alone or with a friend
It’s always the cure
And the new lights look retro indeed
They look like they were taken from a junk yard with
speed
