They are definately Middle Eastern and they tend to show up late Sunday afternoon every few weeks. There are generally 5 to 9 of them, and they sit around a high rise bar table and drink pitchers of beer. They keep to themselves, and according to the bartenders, they are polite and neither the best nor worst of tippers. The place is blue and gray collar of all races and a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds among the regulars, which is why these guys stand out: They are not really regulars, they don't mingle outside of their group, and they seem to be white collar/professional. The beer drinking throws us off also, because most non-Israeli, non-Lebonese Christians that I've met over the years drink alcohol sparringly. These guys bang back several pitchers in a couple hours or less. I've tried to talk to them because I'm a friendly kind of guy, but what is obvious to me is that they want to be left alone.

Middle Eastern - want to be left alone...

It would be great if someone on this thread was a private eye or in Homeland Security so they could follow some of these guys around and check up on them.
