    Re: Braum's

    I'd like to ask an update as to the shakes. Are they still only available as ice cream with the special milk, nothing else?

    Re: Old Spaghetti Factory

    That can be a good thing. Lotsa people who are nostalgic for the 1980s.
  3. Re: Parklane Townhomes (dilapidated apartments on 8100 N. MacArthur Blvd. and Canal R

    A bump for interest. It looks like absolutely nothing is happening over there, and the speed limit along the curve was even changed the other month from a mandatory 30 (presumably to accompany the...

    Re: Galaxy Home Recreation

    A good location to serve the multitude of pool needs and wants (swimming and billiard-type) that has existed here for at least the last twenty years!
  5. Parklane Townhomes (dilapidated apartments on 8100 N. MacArthur Blvd. and Canal Rd.)

    You know, by the strip mall that houses Al's, Manna, Christie's, etc., situated on that difficult correction line curve of MacArthur.

    They have been in a state of remodeling or even reconstruction...
  6. Re: Looking for "pie and mash" in the metro. Any leads?

    Yes indeed, all correct.

    I did go that evening, and it was all very good—Sean conceded that he was a bit more American with the seasoning, which I was happy with. There may be other English type...
  7. Re: Looking for "pie and mash" in the metro. Any leads?

    Thanks, C.T.; I do see that there's a pie and mash thing done in the Irish or Scottish way, which I'll happily try. They themselves freely say that they don't really do the English thing (which is...

    I ran across this on a recommended YouTube video. It's a meat pie with potatoes and an interesting eel broth and parsley sauce called "liquor"; I guess named...

    Re: Overflowing our landfills

    I hope the economy in packaging doesn't get too crazy. For example, I'm a drummer, and have had occasion to buy cymbals at blowout prices from Amazon. Despite the fact that a cymbal is bronze, it's...

    Re: Liquor tax in restaurants

    Until you find a schedule of all of this: I seem to recall that Kat's had their tax included in the price of the Bud Light. Interurban and The Garage add the tax on top.

    I suppose I'd still buy ice cream there, out of the grocery section mind, if I still ate that much of it. They have a habit of rotating flavors which is annoying. Circus Animal Cookie was a real...

    I wish I could in good conscience join you, and refrain from the bitching-and-moaning (really factual assessment, but we'll roll with this, it's catchy!). I hope you enjoy. I've moved on.

    Also a favorite are names from which a nickname can easily be derived, for example "the Urb" for...
