aviod the places with the tourist crowd. i found out that they usually up prices and it takes awhile to get your food unless you are a patron.

I disagree with you about the first 2, although I haven't been to the first in quite awhile I remember it as charming with decent prices. I have never had to wait there either. How many times have you been? Maybe it's gotten smaller and pricier.

You are way off base on the second. They have some of the finest food in the area. How many times have you been and what did you eat?

You are entitled to your opinions and to post them here but if you are going to go negative you should elaborate - something more than "not that great".

Besides, we would rather hear about places you like, and why.

Well now that you've changed your post I guess I'll have to delete this thread.

I should have known since you say the food is bad but your opinion is "based mostly on the crowd that hangs there". If you don't like tourists at your restaurants, don't go out to eat here in the Summer. Or continue to try places until you figure out when and where to go. Then come back here and let us know.

okay yeah sorry. that was an awkward moment for me. i was just fed up after having a bad day. i guess you are right. it is just hard to live in a tourist town sometimes.

hmmmm......can't remember

This looks like it was originally like the other rant that came out a couple of days ago.

I know it must be rough living in a tourist town during the summer, but, honestly, every place has its pros and cons. The Watercolor Publix during the week isn't nearly as traumatic as the Kroger 2 miles from my house from noon to 7 every weekday, and I don't dare venture in there before 10 p.m. on Sunday. Our local Panera is also unbearable between noon and 2 during the week and impossible on Sundays. Most of the restaurants are crazy on weekends around here, too.

And I live in a small town, with no claim to tourism...

So take a couple of deep breaths. It'll be alright!

At least you guys don't have the type of tourists that come to Nashville. No offense if you are one of them.

Not that I'm complaining or anything...they bring needed revenue to the city.

No Hall brings up a good point. Everything is relative. Feel the beach every day and thank the stars.

TRUE DAT!!! The locals in Nashville are bad enough! :funn: Every time I left the safety of my home I felt like I was risking my very life, and I had to go to the grocery store EVERY night after 10. The Hillsboro Kroger and the Compton's Foodland (no longer on the corner of Blair

) just got used to me showing up in my pajamas.

since this is in the lounge I can't give you a"thanks." But I couldn't agree more! :clap:

However, before others start coming down on trikkster, let's assume, please, that she might be having a bad day. Let's assume she's learning her way around life. :wave:

I go to the Hillsboro Kroger as well. The only time I avoid going in there is the first Wednesday of each month. It's Senior Citizen Day and talk about slow traffic. :roll:

The Harris Teeter is on the corner of Blair now. The best time to go is after work on weekdays. It might be crowded but it's like a social hour for singles.

Perhaps before the edit all this made sense. I should think that more than "taking a while to get my food", I would be SOL on getting it at all unless I was a patron.

Maybe I should delete my post #11. I see now that trikkster is also nickyc142. Oh well. My Thanks stays for Kurt just the same. ;-) :clap:

It's the POULTRY capital of the world, and we're trying to keep that a secret. SHHHHH!

Do you live near the Teeter? (I'm sure it's much nicer than Foodland was--it was nasty, but convenient!) I was on Blair Blvd. for a couple of years, and at Belmont for 4 years...I miss it sometimes...
