I just can't bear it.  Trying to work out a way to eat there at least 3 times a week until the last day!  

Somebody ought to pay [I]George[/I] to open a place in their development.  He is a top 5 SoWal restauranteur- good food, good value, good business.  There are reasons why he packs 'em in every day and has for 13 years.  Not many places here can make that brag. He is the equivalent to a shopping mall anchor- the place that brings the business to everyone else.:clap:
I have to break the news to my mom tomorrow.  You will probably hear the scream all the way from Kentucky.

Thank you.  I was almost brave enough to tell her this morning, but I chickened out.

I'm asking Santa to please, please, please let George open in a new location! If I had known earlier, I would have behaved a lot better, sooner!
