This is a bar at Boston’s Fenway Park. The “bleachers” are the cheap seats that tend to be far from the action. The park installed a bar with windows that look out over the ball field near the bleacher seating. This neon sign guides the way.
I intend to write a book based around Wilde’s assertion that we are two nations divided by a common language but as a very positive take on the fact. As a True Brit I get awfully tired of the tiresome snipes at spelling and pronunciation. If we are really to be a melting pot, surely it starts with embracing language nuances and being thankful for the differences and indeed allowing the colourful whole to meld together?
I agree. The program I just completed focused on “descriptive” grammar (how we really speak), rather than “prescriptive” grammar (how we ought to speak).
Great image. The definition of what a Bleacher is was one of the first lessons I had in learning to speak American π
Thank you. It is a great American-ism.

Perfect π
Nosebleed seats, right? But who’d go to a bar with that name?! π
It’s actually popular because it is a bar and you can roam around and watch the game. It’s amazing what sells at Fenway.
Love it! π
Come visit in summer and we can catch a game there, Sarah. BTW, I saw a great blog entry this morning on sights to see in Berlin.
Would love to! π
Which entry was it? Can you post the link?
Here it is. https://enjoytheadventure.co.uk/2017/08/25/top-attractions-berlin/
Thanks, Chris! I read it, it points out the more or less obvious sights – apart from the Zoo I prefer the not so well known ones being an insider π
Well, I will hope I can get the insider’s tour someday. π
No hope needed, thatΒ΄s a deal! π
Other than getting fried in the sun, the bleachers are where the fun folks are sometimes π
So true!
