BK mentioned this on Facebook recently. Terrible news. In this small article they speak of a "remodel". Lord save us from that. Of course it seems like that's a cover story no one has much faith in anyway.

But if that were really the case... I looked at the photos on their website. They had already long ago updated the Olde English look with the red leatherette wing chairs and such, while keeping the basic character of the place, and I was pleased with what I saw. The jernt still looked warm and welcoming to these eyes. So, seriously, any "remodel" now would more than likely kill it.

George - The author of "Red" is also the bookwriter of the stage version of "Moulin Rouge."

I didn't know that.

Here's a (slightly belated) PAGE FOUR MOULIN ROUGE DANCE!!

I loved this comment under the video for "Kansas City" from "Oklahoma!" -
"Aunt Eller sure picked that two step up quick."

That article is from June, when it shuttered. As I've mentioned, they lost their liquor license because they didn't do some filing thing in time - they fought it but there was no resolution and a lot of their business is bar business and wine with dinner. I believe they closed and will stay closed until the license can be reinstated. However, I can't imaging they'll reopen if that goes on too long.

Friday afternoon greetings! Anticipating afternoon thunderstorms, I went to the grocery before lunch. Then I went to have my hair cut. Still no storms, so I’m hoping they hold off until after tonight’s high school football games.

Hey, that looks pretty good.

Well, as it turned out, stuff happened and I didn’t take my wok today.

Tomorrow! Yes, tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to DR Laura!

May all your birthday wishes come true.

Hello, DR Jeanne! We’re not often here at the same time...

Jeanne · « **Reply #110 on:** September 21, 2018, 04:47:16 PM »

Hi, DR Ginny. You're right. How are your crafts coming along?

Jeanne · « **Reply #111 on:** September 21, 2018, 04:47:41 PM »

Thanks for the photo, Chaz.

Today was Needle Day (acupuncture). My acupuncturist told me about a great salad bar across the street from her. How did I miss this? I drive by there almost daily. Apparently, the place doesn't face the boulevard--you sort of have to know it's there. I may give it a try on Sunday.

I suspect that's the primary reason more people don't take their intended woks.

Continued health and recovery vibes to all who need them.

TTFN.

Larry and Chas - that's just beautiful!

Well, it's time for me to leave work, so I will.

Be back later.
