Restaurant Renovations Uncovered Sighting


SALINAS, Calif. -- A plumber working on restaurant renovations in Salinas said he found the image of the Virgin Mary in a floor drain Wednesday.

The man was working on the drainage system for the upcoming Old Town Bar & Grill restaurant, which is housed in the same building as a former Spados restaurant, when he noticed the strange image.

The building has seen several ventures come and go in the past six years since Spados closed down, and the new owner said he sees the sign as a blessing of hope for the new restaurant.

The Roman Catholic Church has very strict guidelines regarding what is deemed an official sighting of the Virgin Mary.

5. It looks more like a badly damaged
Francisco Goya painting. He did incredibly unflattering portraits of the Spanish nobility and kept his head, probably because it was the nearest likeness any painter had ever been able to do.

Either that or it's a drunken prom queen through a rain streaked windshield.

It certainly begs a questions: why are these apparitions always in such unattractive places---grilled cheese sandwiches, scuzz under an overpass, mold on a shower floor and now in a filthy drain at a bar?

20. Shouldn't they do a DNA test of the stain?
Folks who buy into these images would like that.
