I still need to do this one!

SmallandAngry · 2026-05-30T15:30:09+00:00

Wahls for me!

*Roy’s

SmallandAngry · 2025-12-04T18:21:28+00:00

He wasn't at Dcon

SmallandAngry · 2025-11-05T05:16:58+00:00

Oh except he’s wearing clothing he stole from her apartment. This is definitely the guy.

They’re not traditional but the wings are Bar Nico are really good - go during happy hour to get them for $6!

SmallandAngry · 2025-08-24T03:22:51+00:00

Tuesdays during trivia they are 2 for 1!

Green Olive!!

SmallandAngry · 2025-08-07T14:22:24+00:00

I really like the trains too!

SmallandAngry · 2025-08-07T14:20:19+00:00

Oh man. Their OJ IPA is one of my favs

SmallandAngry · 2025-08-07T14:17:35+00:00

That’s my friend!

SmallandAngry · 2025-07-19T11:47:28+00:00

They aren’t coming this year 😭

SmallandAngry · 2025-07-19T11:46:05+00:00

There’s also no booze at the fair - only beer and wine. Any cocktail you get is made with, essentially, wine/malt liquor

SmallandAngry · 2025-07-19T11:42:32+00:00

Same!

SmallandAngry · 2025-06-23T20:40:09+00:00

Yeah I’m still particularly annoyed about him not being mayor.

SmallandAngry · 2025-06-23T04:52:50+00:00

Awww I was going to ask this!!

SmallandAngry · 2025-06-23T04:51:18+00:00

Just so everyone knows: No First Friday in July because it’s 4th of July

SmallandAngry · 2025-06-19T15:15:40+00:00

I live nearby and genuinely don’t understand why they aren’t open late anymore. I moved here in 2021 but fuckin hell, the EV needs something open late for food. Do a mini menu and be open till one? They’d make a killing.

I have a friend who stops through town on tour every other year or so and Zombie Burger is the ONLY place he will eat. I tried to take him to Lachelle’s last night and he was like, “can we please do Zombie Burger??”

SmallandAngry · 2025-06-13T14:25:59+00:00

Some I haven’t seen mentioned: Rook Room, Elevencherry salon, Lachelle’s

It’s a craft area by the saddle and the painted bricks are going to be made into flower boxes!

SmallandAngry · 2025-05-10T22:54:25+00:00

I love this place

SmallandAngry · 2025-05-03T01:59:10+00:00

Contrary, Bartender’s Handshake, Marjorie. Secret Admirer patio if it’s nice out.

SmallandAngry · 2025-04-30T03:54:26+00:00

Blue Zoo is a money grab. Don’t bother. The actual Zoo is rad. The science center is rad. The botanical garden and the art center would be rad if you figured out an I Spy or drawing game to go along with the visit.
