WAL-MART WINCHESTER/385

Looks nice, but it's all cheap and made in China. No one was paid a decent wage to put this in place, either.

MOVING TO SOUTH MAIN

I will be back in action after I get the move completed this weekend. Sorry for the lack of updates.

EARNESTINE & HAZEL'S

I have always loved Earnestine & Hazel's! Cracked, chipped, and old paint, scary ghosts in the corners, and a black restroom to boot. Check out the upstairs bar, and have a Soul Burger(or two).

SEKISUI - DOWNTOWN MEMPHIS

Ugh. If any sushi restaurant could be more bland, I will never step foot in it. I understand that this is in a hotel, but give me a break. On the day I went, the sushi "chef" was leaning on the counter, his wife was hanging out at the bar, and their kid was playing video games on a laptop two seats down. All the noise with bland, uninspired sushi. I will never go back. Been avoiding Sekisui for a while, this just sealed the deal.

This is the restroom of the hotel. Nice, bland, and corporate as well.

HUEY'S MIDTOWN

Oh, Huey's, how I enjoy your trying to hold onto what made you great in the first place. That locals' bar feel goes quite nicely with the continual mainstreaming. I do love how you support local events and charities. The writing on the wall does not carry into the restroom, and no toothpicks, either.

I will take a Senor Huey, please.

KOOKY CANUCK

Went to the Kooky Canuck on Sunday for the 34 oz green beers. I had three at the table. Not a bad start to the festivities. Here's the show. Exactly as one expects, a nice decor that carries the theme of the restaurant into there. Always good times.

SUPER SUB SHOP - HIGHLAND & SOUTHERN

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Super Sub Shop. Anything that has "sauce" on it is the bomb. I could eat these every day! The restroom/toilet is just like the place - hasn't changed for years. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The only thing is, the difference between "hard" and "soft" bread is negligible. I just like saying "hard".
