| Mickey's Gyros Restaurant |
I was in three college towns in the past two weeks -
Moscow, Idaho, Pullman, Washington, and Corvallis, Oregon - four if you count my home in Annapolis. A commonality of the first three is that there are funky kinds of specialty restaurants in each that are different, but the same. When I had lunch in
Moscow early the week before last, my hosts recommended we ate at
Mikey's Gyros. The place is a through-back cafe to the 60's and 70's that time hasn't touched - or human hands to bring into the 21st Century. It is an out-of-the-way place that I have no idea how to get to, but requires entry through a

door on a secondary street near a parking lot that once you enter, you are required to walk through a hall that passes by a
tie dye clothing and bead boutique. All of this is in the middle of the
Palouse country where lots of soft white wheat is grown, and home to near-mythical
giant earth worms and cowboys and lumber jacks. Inside, the walls were hand-painted with various interpretive murals - not a place with a strong west coast art influence, but retro in many ways. I ate an
avacado gyro along with the soup of the day -
sweet corn chowder - both were good (shown in the picture at the right). A place that is worth a second visit.
