Was a long day traveling. Finished up my book on the plane. The gal at the front desk of the hotel started laughing when I went down to the lobby and said, "I'm desperate! I need a Barnes & Noble!" So she got out a map and showed me where it was. Yaaaaay. I have two new paperbacks and I'm a happy camper. I've turned into a bit of a bookworm this year - have been going through about two per trip!
Evenin' folkses... :-) [sip]
Yay, books!
Glad you're safely there. How was the flight?
Screaming.
Wow! You ARE close to Arlington. I had a feeling...
We were just at 6-flags on Saturday. BTW Sat. is the Worst day to go there. You are roughly an hour from me (45 mintues).
That Barnes and Noble you probably went to used to be a "Horse and Saddle" shop. B&N tore it down when they purchased the property and rebuilt. The Chili's next door is pretty good, but there is a TGIFridays in Lincoln Square, across the street to the west, that is SO much better.
You were talking about steak this weekend. I couldn't remember any specific staek places, but where you are, you are literally swamped with restaurants. There's a Shady Oak BBQ & Grill where you can prolly get some steak. Across the Interstate there is a real steak house by Hurricane Harbor. Can't remember what its called though. There should be an On the Border next door to HOJO's on I-30 (Yum). Frijoles is really good, too (i'm getting hungry just thinking about it). It is across the highway off of Ballpark Way and I-30 and is visible from the hwy. There are also Red Hot Blue, Joe's Crabshack, Pappadeaux, Olive Garden, etc. You won't starve.
There ~used~ to be a Steak and Ale right across the street from 6-flags. There also ~used~ to be a Red Lobster over tere too. It has been too long since I lived there -sigh-
You have basically hit a restaurant haven. It isn't restaurant row, rather it is restaurant block for about a mile. The only fast food places I remember in your immediate vicinity are Chick-fil-a and Taco Bueno.
How long will you be here?
