Wednesday Night 3-11-09 / The Economy

[cam76034]

I liked Keller's alot. But idea of the same old thing of standing around in the same parking lot, every Wednesday every week, sounds monotonous.

I'll throw out a couple of places. "Flips Patio Grill" in Grapevine has a massive outdoor deck (with chairs!) $2.50 22oz domestic beers on Wed. Pretty easy to get to right @ Main St. and 114.

A favorite place of mine that we frequent is Amore's Pasta & Pizza on Cheek-Sparger and Brown Trail. 2 miles off 121 or 2 miles off 183 depending where you're coming from, so it is not on the highway but well worth finding. It's a simple Italian restaurant with great calzone and inexpensive prices on their daily specials. BYOB and has outdoor dining as well which opens out to the parking lot, although I'm not sure if that is allowed beyond the dining areas.

Can a moderator spin all the economy stuff off into it's own thread?

No, but thanks for asking.

Thanks Sammm.

It's not like thread drift is something new around these parts.

I think Kellers is a great place and I would be fine if we made it the official Wednesday Night spot but it isn't great if it's cold or wet so I thought I'd get the ball rolling for a different spot this week since the weather is going to suck.

I think William has had a little too much caffeine today.

I don't know what your talking about, I mean I am just trying to be helpful and all I get is blah blah blah because it as if my input isn't appreciated which I know it is and so I will continue to provide my input if it is appreciated or not because I think my points are valid as anyone else's and while I'm mentioning it I like the idea of parking lots if it's nice out since we can check out everyone's rides and talk cars and show mods because it's much better than sitting on a patio looking at our cars from a half a block away and further more, what was I saying?

[cam76034]

blahblahblah... while I'm mentioning it I like the idea of parking lots if it's nice out since we can check out everyone's rides and talk cars and show mods

+1 which is why I suggested the places i mentioned earlier.

[JuanoTejano]

+1 for being able to see the cars.

Poor Will, I ramble/run-on all the time too.

I'm not much of a bar person beer taste like pee pee and yeast mixed up with a few hops! <------haha! For real though Kellers is a good place to meet, but where are most people on here from? I live in mesquite. Is it best for everyone to meet in dallas or outskirts or do we have enough FT. Worth guys and we could have a halfway point to have the meet.

wow.... my rambling started a discussion; sorry guys.

I'd offer up meeting spots but all of them are down this way...

[cArAzzIE]

Maybe alternate weeks - eastside/westside...or just keep it the way it is...somebody says - hey we're meeting here...show don't show...whatever! But it was COOL and a nice surprise to have so many cars show up at Kellers!

There's a Keller's Drive-in on the westside near 35 as well. Not sure if they have the convenience of the "back lot"...not exactly Lewisville or Ft. Worth...doesn't bother us to drive a little distance in good weather!

[OZMDD]

Didn't know about the "other" Kellers. That's a great idea. Isn't there some kind of old drive-in near the Stockyards in FW?

[OZMDD]

OK, so is the spot for tomorrow Shuck and Jive? The location on Greenville? 7 pm?

[moosemonkey]

Is shuck and jive a bar? Where is the parking lot? Some parts of Greenville are horrible about car break ins.

I'm not sure if I can make this one but Amore's that Cam posted sounds good to me, BYOB, access to the parking lot with visibility of the cars and outside patio dinning, and calzones means it gets my vote.

Is shuck and jive a bar?

I am not interested in going down to the Greenville one. (I didn't even know about one down there.)

There is one just off of Bush and Alma on the south side.

Yep... that one, or the one on Rosemede and Midway is what I had in mind. Both are in strip malls with plenty of parking, and serve a full menu of food.

[OZMDD]

Pick one and make it the "spot", Titus. Executive decision time! :)

MmmKay. I'll pick the one closest to my house. Bush and Alma.
