After a few years of bartending at Sophie's, Kyle de Vre, started taking portraits of his regulars. UnhappyFem swung by the dive bar on Valentine's Day to chat with him about the culmination in his photo book, titled 'See You Next Tuesday.' (Get it?)
But, again, it’s Tuesday, and all of those people are off making good money at their day jobs right now. When one of Kyle’s friends — a fellow photographer he calls Smalls, who says he has been coming to Sophie’s for 15 years — stops by, I ask them both about a leathery old man with big crooked teeth who is featured in the book. “There’s all these ragtag older men who come here,” says Smalls. There’s also a painting of this same guy on the wall opposite the bar.
Shortly after 4 p.m., the first real customer pulls up. “Hey! How are ya?” Kyle asks. “Excellent,” a plump lady in a zip-up jacket replies, though her tone suggests otherwise. She orders a Bud Light; Kyle responds with a friendly “I think we’ve got a few of those.
I order another beer, and Kyle tells me one of his favorite things about working this shift on the same day every week is that people know where to find him — like a professor holding office hours. Then he gets back to telling tales of his regulars, many of whom are his photo subjects. It’s getting to be late afternoon, which might mean proper drinking hours, and a gray-haired lady with aviators and a cane sits down at the opposite end of the bar. I tell Kyle I think she’s adorable. “She’s,” he warns me, adding that she recently moved into an apartment across the street. “She’s a new regular … for an old person.”

While government agencies have repeatedly stated that tests shown the municipal water supply and air quality are safe, locals have reported symptoms like dizziness, headaches and rashes after tankers of chemicals were burned off in the days following the crash.
