Mod Pizza.
It’s decent. Like, Mod is to pizza what Chipotle is to burritos. Better than Taco(bell)/(time) (better than dominos or pizza hut) but not outstanding. Middle of the road.

I think there is a Shack Shake in the ATL, but it’s up in Buckhead, I think? But we have a Cookout downtown, too, so that might be better anyway.

Sadly, they opened a Chik Fil A down the road here in Oregon. It did, however, give me the opportunity to talk about corporate citizenship and same sex marriage with the kids.

Greggs.
Not that I wanted it, I’m just surprised it took so long.

Don’t worry they told me. Everyones a highly trained professional they told me. You don’t need to hear all this they told me.
Now I can’t sit down in the living room as theres a barnacle over the chair.

I have been to one in Austin. It’s pretty good. Up here there is a 1000 Degrees which is not as good as Mod Pizza but basically the same concept.

Popeyes. They serve chicken, or something.

Never heard of it. The bakery chain in the UK?
Yes.
I still haven’t forgiven them for what they did to Birketts when I was living in Cumbria. It was a good bakery before Greggs bought and destroyed it. They got rid of Birketts seconds shop too, you could get five pies or ten sausage rolls for a pound. If you were short of money you could fill your freezer up quite cheaply.
I don’t know what Greggs does with it’s slightly damaged pies now.

Maybe a new morgue, given Baltimore’s murder rate last year. Only thing opening up near me is new dorms at Morgan State U. Let’s hope they bring a coffee shop and something, anything, other than the crappy Sav-A-Lot and the Maybe-I’ll-Get-Robbed-This-Time liquor store.
However, the liquor store does sell 12-pack Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and sixers of Natty Boh, so maybe I shouldn’t complain.

Fond memories there. Uncle was a Popeyes manager in NE DC for years and years. Every Jewish holiday gathering, the table would be festooned with whitefish/chub, bagels/lox, this wierd sour cream/chive/cucumber mix and 2 big boxes of Popeyes. NOLA meets Posins Deli!
