True Story; I was at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Before I left I had an ole' fashioned "Spit Shine" put on my Black Cap Toes at Austin Shoe Hospital on Ben White Blvd in Austin, TX. I walk into the Men's at the Bellagio (one swanky hotel I might add) and they had a Shoe Shine Station. The guy working said, "Sir, can I get you a shine." Then he looked at my shoes and said "Ohhhh, never mind. That is a very nice shine!, Sir". I said. "Yea, thats my boyz from the Austin Shoe Hopital in the ATX representin!". He was impressed by the quality of the shine. And that's what he does for a living.
