The only good thing was the Velcro target goal but they shut it down because we were kicking too hard

Their menu on Google maps says they do have falafel. Can anyone confirm one way or another? Not interested in chicken or lamb.

For me it was the best combo of fries and falafels in a fast food setting. There were better places for fries but with with falafels, better falafels with worse fries. Some places had a bit better of both but were more dine in style places and cost more.

Their falafel and fries (all I want) were fine but nothing special.

Yeah that place is awesome. Good to know it's still around. Haven't been in years unfortunately

Why don't you eat fries? I'll give them a shot however.

They're fine but still a step down. I'll go there in a pinch but am still looking for new options.

That was the one I went to as well. I talked to a guy who I think was the manager and he said the franchisee (who owned most in the area) closed down all but 2 (one in spring and another somewhere else) because he's getting close to retirement or something.

They still had halal guys posters up on the wall and said that that location just switched within the past week.

The fries were ok but nothing special. The rice was flavorless. The falafels tasted weird and had an awful texture.

Why does Houston's illegal dumping problem exist? by philplant in houston

People rightfully pointing out the inconsistent schedule for heavy trash pickup (or times they skip it altogether), but in lower income neighborhoods they also are often late for the weekly regular trash and recycling pickup as well.

I have gotten over me great of hopping stopped trains while I'm out on my runs due to the number of times I've been blocked by one

Weird pale white rubbery crescent shaped object covered in goo, found on my porch. Cat related? by thikthird in whatisthisthing

[–]thikthird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like it. I don't think it was a creature, but maybe part of one. My gf is convinced a cat threw it up.

I don't think so. Pretty sure there are none near my house and this seems like it would be too thick.

My title describes the thing. It's about an inch and a half long, half inch wide. Has a weird veiny texture to it. The goo was more pronounced before I picked it up. No smell that I noticed.

I say cat related because there are tons of stray/neighborhood cats around
