I will admit, though, that it takes courage to try something new. In this case, I believe it is worth braving unfamiliar surroundings. ... Read moreDashboard gourmet
Posted on Thu, 01.17.2008 @ 12:23I believe the Rib Guy #2 has relocated back to his original spot in the church parking lot at 46th St. and NW 2nd Ave. He has (or they have) been forgiven...He's there some weekdays, too.... Read more
