FRIVOLOUS FRIDAY / BOB UECKER LIVES

 Mr. Bob “juuuust a bit outside” Uecker, iconic sportscaster, who is still with us folks.

Favorite line: "He'll need a rocket up his ass to catch that one, that baby's outa here." Second Favorite Line: “I must be in the front row.” 

Plaque: BOB UECKER WAS CAST IN A KEY ROLE IN ONE OF TELEVISION'S LONGEST-RUNNING AND MOST POPULAR AD CAMPAIGNS, THE MILLER LITE ALL STARS, AND ONE SPOT CREATED IN 1984 HAS BECOME ICONIC FOR THE BREWERS LEGEND. AFTER SETTLING IN A PRIME SEAT, UECKER IS PULLED AWAY BY A GRUFF USHER. LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, UECKER UTTERS WHAT HAS BECOME ONE OF ADVERTISING'S MOST FAMOUS LINES, "I MUST BE IN THE FRONT ROW..." WHEN WE NEXT SEE BOB HE IS LOCATED IN HIS NEW SEAT AT THE VERY TOP OF THE STADIUM'S UPPER DECK. THIS STATUE CAPTURES "UECK" FROM A SIMILAR PERCH, ENJOYING A BREWERS GAME FROM ONE OF THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE. DEDICATED APRIL 25, 2014. 

THE FOODIST / CLASSIC BUTCHER SHOP IN NORTH PARK

It’s nothing fancy to look at but Wise Ox Butcher & Eatery is the real deal. Located at the corner of Utah and El Cajon Blvd. in North Park, it’s clean, reliable and a place to discuss your custom cuts of meats. 

Deli and wine offerings, too. Yes, you can eat on the premises, but frankly this is a take home or office place. 

2855 El Cajon Blvd. Suite 1 Between Kansas and Utah Streets San Diego CA 92104 Open most days 10 am until 5 or 6 pm. 619 564-8976.
