geothermal wells that temper the water for the heating AC units

Cincy, probably too far to walk, but I'm watching diners drive-ins

looks good

1100 Peachtree St NE #110, Atlanta, GA 30309
Joy Cafe is three blocks away, easy walk.  HOWEVER, we went there once and were seated outside with menus and no one came to take our order.  Servers were clearing tables around us and I asked if one could take our order, and I was told that we should check in at the counter to be seated.

I waved the menu in her face and said "WE DID" and walked out.

Haven't been back, too many other options nearby.  And I didn't see anything on the menu that was fascinating.

I'd guess there are 100 restaurants in easy walking distance, many of them are excellent.

There is a seafood place next door that is expensive and not worth it IMHO.  There is a steak place across the street called STK we have not tried because I can do steak pretty easily.  We have a Persian place opening soon down the block.  That looks promising.  For some reason, we have really good Indian and Italian places nearby.

Another place of interest is Empire State South which we only tried for breakfast.  Too many options.
Nice and sunny and chilly today, I got the main floor up from 63°F to 68°F this morning with the sun.

Yes, Quail Run on the Loup River.  Unfortunately, the flooding last spring shut down the 9 holes over the dike.
I've also played tournaments at the uppity course cut out of the arboretum across town, Elks Country Club.

I have a great friend in Columbus that works at a consulting engineering firm.  He's retiring in two weeks.
Passionate about golf and the Huskers.

Shrimp and grits is a big things hereabouts at moderately upscale trendy places.  I don't order it any more.  It's not bad, but not worth $18 or so IMHO.

There is another place near us called The Flying Biscuit that is pretty good also but very crowded.  For brunch, we usually go to Cafe Intermezzo that has Salmon on Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon that is $12 and fantastic.  The Nook is decent also.  

I probably will give Joy another shot someday, maybe.  They do have a decent patio, though it's right on the street.  Some of the less busy streets have quieter patios.

We both really like dining out doors and nearly every place here has that option.

Yeah, I would have gone back before now, but there are too many other options we're exploring, and it seems more open up every month.  When we go for walks, we often discover a new place that just opened around the 'hood.  There is a new place downtown called "By George" that sounds interesting and it's in an historic building, and a friend told us "A Mano" is the best Italian food he's had in ATL.  My step daughter is arriving this evening and we're going to the Barcelona Wine Bar with her, we went a couple months back and liked it, but we pretty much have to drive to it.  It's a chain, and I often eschew chains unless they are good.

Lure is another place we like along with South City Kitchen.  That bar Badger found down on Cypress we have yet to try.  We have three Indian places within walking distance that are quite good.  I'd like a Korean place nearby, there are some Korean hybrid places, but no pure K.

It's nice to walk to a place and have no worries about drinking.

Ming found that bar, not me. But he did an excellent job of scoping. It was perfect.

We closed on our house in Florida on Friday. So, that's done. On to the kitchen and bathrooms.

As a person who left the snow, welcome to the south. You will notice your SEC speed after a few months.

Heh. Hanging around the neighborhood for a few days left me with the impression that I've just simply bought a place in the Southern Midwest. Seems like everyone down there is from somewhere around here.

One of the next-door neighbors is a Badger..

Nearly everyone I know here is from somewhere else.  It was like that in 1970 as well.

The metro population is expected to grow about 100,000 per year, with a lot of spread, though folks are moving back into the city now.  We drove to the airport yesterday afternoon and the freeway was stop and go, no accidents, just Sunday traffic, on a 7 lane freeway.  I would have taken the subway but the wife wanted to drive, and it was our daughter coming in from Paris and they land at the international terminal which is not convenient for the subway.

"they" spent $1.5 billion on that terminal and it has 12 gates.  Twelve gates.

ORD has 21, and will expand to 31 by next year. Then they will move the "global" terminal to a new one and push all the low budget carriers to the current international terminal, which feels like a jail at present.

I'm not sure where all this money is coming from. It ain't gonna be from me for much longer.
