In any event, I was only speculating about the apartment dweller being separate from the owner of the restaurant, and that eating Laotion food here needn't carry political baggage.Robert Holmgrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692106097414753527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1123420963794725402005-08-07T08:22:00.000-05:002005-08-07T08:22:00.000-05:00Menlo Bob: I'm sure the flag is a political statem...Menlo Bob: I'm sure the flag is a political statement.

Back in the day college students seemed to use large flags as all purpose decoration. Here the flag is window treatment rather than political statement. This seems to contrast with the Southeast Asian restaurant aesthetic.Robert Holmgrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692106097414753527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1123416663491368502005-08-07T07:11:00.000-05:002005-08-07T07:11:00.000-05:00Peter: Great attention to detail.Victoria: I took ...Peter: Great attention to detail.<BR/><BR/>Victoria: I took the picture because of the Kerry sign.
