Shades of W.C. Fields. Jump to Comments · GreenwichRoundup has a marvelous tale of a man standing by his woman in a Port Chester Bar.
Fields, in, I think, “My Little Chickadee”, is one of two bartenders – while a mousy-looking barkeep polishes glasses in the background, Fields regales a customer with a tale of bravery when he beat up (”Chicago Lil? The beast of Philadelphia? I forget, but let’s go with the Beast).

The first bioreactor was installed in Greene County last September. On Thursday, a field day was held for about two dozen onlookers, most of them media representatives, to witness the installation of Iowa's second of several planned bioreactors.
