  1. Talk about burying the lede. You need to expand on this! And I agree with ztejas. I've lived in the hood since 92 (20 years in West Lake Hills proper; shoutout to Mayor Anthony) and before that went to the movies at the building where the Mall Polvos is now (that was sliding down the hill into the Mopac row before being demolished), and it's always been known as being in Westlake. And while I haven't checked lately, Dillards used to own their premises in fee simple like they do in many other regional malls, so I assume that's going to throw a wrench into any redevelopment plans. And I'm really waiting to see what B&O do with Brodie Oaks. That's a cool looking project if they can pull it off.
  2. @YGIFS so is this place ever going to open or what?
  3. When all I have is your office number. But fair point.
  4. People who - call me back without listening to my voice message - call me back when i text or email instead of responding by text or email by text or email - call me also people who go to the grocery stores in groups of more than 1
  5. Start at 21 second mark for mini golf
  6. Back in the mid-90s, when Enchiladas y Mas was on the I-35 southbound service road just north of Dean Keaton, they had a portable tube tv in the corner tuned to the Rush Limbaugh show during lunch hour. First place I heard of Mega Dittos other than the 360.com board. That's all I've got.
  7. Just had the Los Primos plate. One relleno, one tamale, beans and posole. Outstanding as usual.
  8. I’m actually in Angel Fire right now. Was in Santa Fe Thursday through Sunday. Tons of food recs in Santa Fe. We did Tomasitos Thursday and the Cowgirl Friday (they also had a great band on the patio which was a plus). If you’ve never been you have to go to the Shed. I’ve also spent a ton of time in Taos and it’s worth a day trip but not worth an overnight except in ski season. Orlando’s is the best place in Taos for NM Mexican food. There’s also a cool local brewery with an outpost in town. And if you golf the Taos course is legit with great views of Wheeler. Since you saw Oppenheimer go to Los Alamos and check out the museums. And Bandelier is close by. And Madrid is always worth a stop
  9. I've eaten at most of the Austin ones, including the ones that are closed. Also, my wife's a Tri Delt, so there's that.

    Burgers

    if you could combine C&A's burger with Dan's curly fries and Billy's beer selection I'd never go anywhere else again. And I'd die within 24 months.
  11. Do the Highpoints backwards and see how far you can get. My brother just did Mt. Sunflower in Kansas. He said it was a nice walk through a cornfield. https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=12004
  12. From today's SA Biz Journal in re: Digital Whataburger

    Pizza

    Not really any onsite parking. The space is very small too. It's great for grabbing a slice for lunch or take out, but I don't know that I'd make a special trip downtown with a group to eat there. Particularly this time of year. When it cools down they do have outside tables.

    Tex Mex

    I've always liked Maudi's saulsa, but it can definitely carry some lasting garlic. Maudie's may not be the best, but they do some things really well. Pete's breakfast taco and fajito taco plate are outstanding and Maggie's Plate is the perfect lunch.
  15. Okay that's just silly. Barley Swine moving to a brand new space from that tiny, run down space on South Lamar had nothing to do with rent increases. I'll agree with everything else in your post.

    Tipping

    It's my business and it's one check a month is why, just to have cash on hand. Including that check, I probably write 5 checks a month max out of my business account. I haven't had to reorder checks in 7 or 8 years.

    Tipping

    I'm self-employed. When my kids were younger I told them I paid myself $500 a month. I would write myself a check and go to my bank drive-thru with a post-it note on it telling them how I wanted it broken out ($50s, $20s, $10s and $5s) and then take the envelope home and put in the gun safe. Anytime we go anywhere where we need tip money I just go grab a few $5s and $10s). Use the $50s and $20s at Billy's or C&A.
  18. Bitched about the refs after a loss
  19. The lead car in a protected left who is staring at their phone when they get a green arrow gets a "thousand and one" count before I hit my horn. I'm amazed at the number of people who sit behind those idots and don't blare the horn and just wait for them to finally look up. I'm looking at your Walsh Tarlton and Bee Cave.
  20. Even though the WB isn't open yet, the cluster fucking has begun. The stacking for Cane's is now wrapped around the inline Jack Brown Cleaners/Thunderclouds space all the way down to Summermoon. Meaning cars that are parked at Thundercloud are blocked in. Good thing there's plenty of space in front of the new St. Bernards. Morons are also trying to turn left (to go south on Walsh Tarlton) out of the center from in front of the Jack Browns.
  21. She passed away today according to the Buttholes FB page. RIP.
  22. Texas Country Reporter just did a segment on Barbecue Inn in Houston (Heights area). Fried Chicken looks really good. How is the BBQ?
  23. Taco Mayo in OK had a Taco Burger in the 80s that was both a taco and a hamburger. And it was every bit as good as that sounds smothered in hot sauce.
  24. If Dogs are included, then Sausage Wraps should be included. In particular, the Sausage Wrap served at Frank Erwin Center after downing 5 or 6 Bud Lights.
