    Only if there’s room for another Southern fusion place with an updated take on smash burger that’s $20 over priced.

    Just passed Randall standing in front of the pancake house in 5 points. Good to see him out in the community.

    BTW hosting a work guest from out of town. Don't think he's the Otey's type, but is a chainsmoker. Does the Garage still allow cigs? What are my other options?

    I took my family to the pancake house about 6 months ago and that was the first time it really occurred to me how bad things had gotten over there. It was 10:00 AM on a saturday and there were probably 50 unhoused people out and about. Multiple guys coming up to us walking from our car asking for stuff, complimenting the looks of my wife and daugther (she is 5). Then there was a really strung out lady at the front of pancake house acting like she was a greeter or something. They were all really high. It was a tough scene.

    Earlier this week a vagrant approached a coworker who was on his phone in the office parking lot. Coworker motioned to his phone and said “can’t talk I’m on the phone.” The guy got pissed, grabbed his hip like he was reaching for a gun and started chasing him saying “I’m going to blow your fucking head off.” I know there have always been unhoused people downtown but post covid it’s gotten really bad, especially with the aggressiveness, and I have no idea why.

    Unfortunate you had a negative experience but I’d imagine a common one. Last time I ate at the Pancake house (many years ago) our hungover server excused herself in the middle of taking our order, ran outside and vomited right outside the window where we were seated. Pancakes Yum!

    At this point, BPD is just responding to calls. There aren't enough people to patrol. That's basically what I've been alluding to with my recent commentary.

    Last time I went to the Red Lion, some dude rubbed shit all over the walls of the bathroom and they tried to blame it on our group, which was wearing suits and ties after a Christmas cocktail party.

    Interesting meeting. Neighborhood was overwhelmingly against the density. 1.7 parking spaces per unit—and some were 3 bedroom rental units

    Trent Dilfer is such a loser. Smartest guy in the room syndrome vibes from a real asshole. Just completely eroded what Clark built in short order.

    RB from Tulane, Makhi Hughes, went to Huffman HS and has 119 yards on 15 carries with 2 TD's.

    You know he's fired up to be back home.
