Boiler Room the New Sweet Shop? (maybe for some)


Not that anyone's keeping track, but so far the civil advocacy program's interns have been living the high life. Week 1 they were taken to lunch at the cozy Thai restaurant in Nelson County, then treated to ice cream on the way home. Today they were favored with lunch at West Main, with its "upscale casual" cuisine and linen napkins, followed by 3-dollar gourmet chocolates from Gearhart's. (Reportedly, one even ate her Taj chocolate truffle in the Boiler Room while the other interns watched.)

Now, of course none of us begrudge our colleagues' good fortune (which apparently even includes trips to Washington Nationals' games for some), but even just a doggie bag now and then for the others might help keep things civil in the Boiler Room as the summer heats up.
