I grew up in Ohio and had some darn good Italian/Greek/SlovakNorthern Ohio? Because here in Columbus, they think German food is haute cuisine.

You know what?
I just aint a food court kinda guy.
I got a dozen lobster and 5 lbs of steamers in Maine 2 years ago for $60 and we cooked em up at the cottage across the lane with corn on the cob.
6 of us at like kings.
My point is I like home/regional cookin over chain joints.

Be careful. I have been in the military for 24 years. I have four children and a wife. I have been away from them many different times ranging from 6 months to a year. The lifestyle sucks a lot sometimes. Now I am one of those guys that does get a pretty good paycheck. I am an O-5 who gets to fly jets (and I would probably do it for a lot less). I do agree that we have a lot of dead weight and that a lot of military jobs can be contracted. But guys like me earn what I get in my opinion. I am in Bahrain right now and had to send my wife and four children back to the states last week (They are living in a hotel stateside waiting in limbo right now) because of the unrest. The reason why we have the best military in the world right now is because we pay them and take good care of them. We have to make a choice. Do we want to still be the world's police? If not, then we can really cut back. However, the way the government is using us right now, we have to hold onto a lot of military members because we are overstretched.

Looks great. I’ll check out the Freeport location this summer.

It was good last time I was there.
I could not believe I was wasting my time on ribs in Maine but was pleasantly surprised.

AS you can see, they kinda tailor it to the market.
But they make a quality product.
Down here BBQ is out of control too.
A guy used to be able to pick up a couple of Chopped BBQ sangwiches wrapped in wax paper for $5

Thanks. There are a lot of people that do absolutely nothing for their government paycheck. The welfare collecting masses. They should take cuts before we in the military sacrifice our pay. Fine, I will take a 10% pay cut, but everyone in the government should too then, and welfare recipients should take double that.

“Shopping malls are under tremendous pressure and are dying out in many cities.
Part of it is the outrageous rents that they can charge in the most upscale malls, and part of it is the overbuilding of malls.”
Not to mention the covered format for acres of card and candle shops is dead. Who wants to walk past miles of card and candle shops, and who needs that many cards and candles, anyway? Not me. I have no need for cards, and a couple of plain Jane candles for emergencies seem to last for decades.
The big box stores actually carry stuff many people need, you know, like Lowes, BestBuy, and a gazillion others.
Along the front range of Colorado, they’ve torn down most of the covered malls and have replaced them with complexes of big box stores that you drive between and park in front of. And it had nothing to do with crime. It’s an issue of time, merchandise, and price.

I hate this.
In 2009, I read an article here where Sbarro was listed as one of the companies most likely to fail. At the time, as well as now, I wished/wish that it’s not true.
My local Sbarro guy is such a nice man.
I’m going to have to dig up that article, again, to see what other companies are on the list.
