Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Surfers... I keep forgetting to tell this story...and given others folks' impressions of the JRI neighborhood, it seems only fair to share it. When I went down last week for my consultation w/Dr. Amstutz, I stayed at the Holiday Inn across from Staples. The cab at the stand when I left the hotel for JRI was " independent " . The Hispanic cabby's name was Wilber (cq). The sign on the cab said " Driver carries no more than $5.00 in change. " I got in, and gave him the street address...and he said " Oh, you're going to the clinic " . I only had a couple of $20's. Wilber said...that was okay, I could get change in the shop at LAOH. The fare was $5.40. We got there...and, and I got out, I told him to wait...I'd get chanage and be back. He said " No need " . He gave me a business card with his name and number on it...and said to call when I was ready to go back to the hotel. Said I could pay him then. How cool is that! If anybody else is going down, and needs a cab ride to JRI, I'll pass along Wilber's number. Anybody that trusting deserves some extra business...No????
