February... the shortest of months. That's a good thing in Maine because the coming of March is symbolic of springtime, or "le printemps," as the French say. During the cold and dark month of February, the people of Portland, Maine take solace in the wide variety of cozy neighborhood restaurants peppered throughout the city.
Our own Mr. February, Walter W. Jepson (b. 1960), is one of the unsung heroes that keep the restaurant industry ticking, those who make sure the doors to the town's favorite holes-in-the-wall are open on even the chilliest February evenings.
Walter, who on at least 7 occasions has snuggled up a little too closely with a person or persons under the age of fourteen (so closely in fact that genitals were somehow touched), is an employee of Silly's restaurant. Silly's, whose motto is: "As far as we can discern, the Universe is a very SILLY Place," is conveniently located on Washington Ave. near exit 8.
Just look at all the fabulous menu items at Silly's! Without Walter's hard work and attention to detail, there might be one less destination in our small town to enjoy an XTC pizza and a jar of Tang on a cold winter's night. Congratulations to the staff of Silly's, the residents surrounding the Washington/Cumberland area, and of course to Walter himself, Mister February!
