>>Dang, ya just had to go and remind me. I really miss Tommy’s and Fatburger.<<

I have one of each a few blocks from home (and an In-n-Out). The wife says when we move to Dallas she will miss the convenience more than anythning.

Then I show her the sales tax (9.5%) on our last purchase of anything and I think the feeling passes quickly.

"...Tommy’s and Fatburger."

I have one of each a few blocks from home (and an In-n-Out).

When I lived in Sunland, I had an In-N-Out and a Tommy's close by. Had to go all the way to Sunset and Vermont for Fatburger's, though.

Yeah, I've heard that the sales tax had gone up. I know that it's 9.75% in Burbank now. That's just outrageous.

I’m not sure about the Dallas sales tax, but down here in San Antonio it is 8.125%, so not much lower. However, we have no income tax in Texas, so that more than makes up the difference.

Maybe In-n-Out will make it down to the Alamo City? We have already received a few Five Guys & Carl’s Jr. recently. Maybe they can run Booger King and Yack in the Box out of town. :)
