HARD LOSS: Seniors steaming about bingo shutdown
GREENDALE, Wis. (AP) -- Violet Fojut, 88, isn't happy that the bingo games she and fellow senior citizens have participated in at the Cream City Cafeteria in the Southridge Mall won't be held any more. "It was always packed. Every table was always packed," he said Tuesday after learning that police had told officials of Boston Store, in which the cafeteria is located, that the games violate state law. "I go every week after I have my hair done," she added. "It's such a friendly atmosphere. You really get to know all the people. And the food - you take home enough for two days afterward." The cafeteria had been offering early bird specials in which diners, nearly all senior citizens, got seven bingo cards on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays along with their food. Those who were the first to cover a row with chips got a prize wrapped in white tissue such as a tea towel set, some costume jewelry or a set of candles.
