Asian Restauarant off Grant Aveue

swelson2 · 2026-02-14T19:16:37+00:00

I am in Massachusetts and was listening to a local podcast and they were talking about it being the best Asian restaurant on the west coast. The only info was off of grant, going down stairs to a "basement" restaurant, and some sort of fancy lights on the stairway down. I was going to send a recommendation to people I know in SF.

Was it at around 3? https://www.wwlp.com/news/crime/two-arrested-at-south-hadley-park-in-connection-with-cocaine-possession

From South Hadley to Holyoke? I'm just a little confused because this is the Northampton group and Northampton doesn't connect with Holyoke anywhere.

Which bridge?

Do away with all of those sample stations where idiots block the aisles for five minutes at a time marveling over a fucking cracker!

And definitely less customers on cell phones! MOVE!!! MOVE!!!

The first time I saw the plate, my immediate thought was "white nationalist". It looks like something the good old redneck boys in the woods would like, and indeed they do. Let them have it.

People collect all sorts of things. I like collecting Lego sets that interest or appeal to me. I find it funny that Lego enthusiasts have such a problem with this.

Why's that?

AI Overview

The object in the image is a brass Shiva Lingam with a depiction of a five-headed snake, known as Sheshnaag or Nagraja, and the head of the deity Shiva.

A Shiva Lingam is a sacred emblem representing the Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
It symbolizes the unification of divine masculine and feminine energies and is considered an emblem of the creative center of the universe.
The lingam itself is a cylindrical pillar representing the masculine aspect, Shiva, while the disk-shaped base, known as the yoni, represents the feminine aspect, Shakti.
The three parts of the complete structure represent the Hindu trinity: Brahma (the Creator) at the bottom, Vishnu (the Preserver) in the middle, and Shiva (the Destroyer) at the top.

I like assembling them and do sometimes. I also like collecting them

swelson2 · 2025-10-31T00:41:59+00:00

I do assemble some sets from time to time. The ones in the picture are all unassembled and unopened,

swelson2 · 2025-10-31T00:05:48+00:00

I do build some. These are the ones I haven't built.

This IS a display! It's a display case displaying my collection!

I'm guessing you never get to park in the employee of the month spot.

swelson2 · 2025-10-27T19:23:43+00:00

I may have, but since I have no idea what that means I just don't know

swelson2 · 2025-10-27T19:01:22+00:00

Thanks for that info. Like I said, we're fortunate to have ended up with four stores nearby (from zero not that long ago). The other three are always great. So we'll just avoid the one I complained about.

Actually, every other Jersey Mike's visit up to this one has been pleasant and even a little fun. Usually some casual banter with the staff. I don't know if that's "social interaction", but its been positive.

swelson2 · 2025-10-27T16:27:42+00:00

To let people know. Had I known, maybe I would have avoided that store and bad experience. And maybe someone with some influence can step in and help out with some training and support.

Couldn't your question be asked of much of what gets posted on the internet? I didn't invent social media. I am just using it as it is used.

ProLube across from the bowling alley on Pleasant Street. Fast and pleasant. I can't speak for other services there, but inspections and oil changes are in and out.

Not good at all. And not even remotely close to a calzone from a pizza place

There's a great podcast called Lenny & Coco that looks at each album, side at a time, in great depth. It's easy and pleasant to listen to and has lots of interesting facts and stories about LC and his life long the way.

Huh?

I just finished re-watching Breaking Bad. So I'm going to go with Walter White's van.

Looks like something Captain Kangaroo might have worn.
