3 Detroit stories (III of III): A bar near Wayne State.

Another time, this same guy was meeting a friend at a bar near Wayne State's campus after class, this dirty bar that no one ever really went to, and while they were sitting there having a beer, he noticed his friend had a polo shirt on with the little black logo on his chest, and that was really unlike his friend, so he was just about to comment on it, and the logo moved - it was a roach that had somehow crawled up onto his shirt, and was just sitting there on his chest in the middle of this bar in the middle of the afternoon.

After that, he said, they looked around and everywhere you looked there were roaches, between the floorboards and between the liquor bottles and glasses on the back of the bar, and crawling around too up on the woodwork on the walls, too, he said, and they started shivering, it was so gross.
