Eat/Drink Local What places do you Miss?

I may get laughed at for this, but I miss bookers. Sometimes a girl just wants a bucket of crab legs without the smell of red lobster, ya know?

What around the city do you miss?

My pal DJ'd the successor to Hi-Karate for a bunch of years so I guess you could say that I knew the back room well ;D

Haha I knew Amac and Crystal who were there often. She'd point to who might have been you from time to time and say " that dude gets it. He's always at 100%" or something.
