We arrived at Grimey’s Saturday afternoon to find ourselves completely surrounded by rugrats. Ocelots are apparently popular amongst the toddler set, because close to a dozen earplugged mini-hipsters—we call them yipsters—were milling about, eating the complimentary cookies and touching the records with their filthy little hands.
