    I think, and correct me if wrong, it depends on what % of their revenue is food. If it's greater than a certain number then they aren't allowed to. It's mainly so bars who just have snacks can still allow indoor smoking.

    Interesting, because this place was a sports bar that had a full menu. I guess nobody eats their food.

    I learned that having a roommate who doesn't have a job sucks because he gets to play golf and sit around all day while I slave away at the office. It's even worse when you get home and the house hasn't been touched and he's still in gym clothes sitting on the couch.

    Joke will be on him though if he still doesn't have a job in a month.

    A month ago I learned there was a quickie store in St Pete, FL that is named Obama Express Food Market. I learned this because there have been multiple shootings there. The stores sign includes obamas campaign logo and all. The google street view shows a guy selling a truck bed full of watermelons. Id link but I'm on mobile.

    But, seriously, Columbia is very trashy. Makes Pearl, Mississippi look like Beverly Hills proper. Btw, Clowney had a mediocre college career and lattimore is overrated.
