Anne & I finally had our first dine-in experience BonoToGo Friday night, after multiple experiences with getting it “ToGo”. We figured that the early bout of rain would have flushed out some of the Short North, making the task of finding a spot to park less of a chore on a Friday evening at 7pm, [...]

Baja Sol: A Review
Anne & I stopped in the relatively new Baja Sol for lunch today at the Hamilton Road location.

We got off the highway (I-65) near the University of Louisville and make [...]
Attract and Retain: Punch and Pie
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help but laugh at this Dispatch article today.
