    We aren't going to discuss casinos.:angry4::angry5: Too many of them elsewhere, but not just anyplace has a boardwalk AND A BEACH.

    If you want to play the slots, pretty much any truck stop and bar in IL has slots in a game room, and then you also have the 'private' places in PA and most likely other places.

    This brings to mind the story of the grocery store butcher from PA who took his check to the casino and lost it and robbed a bank to pay his bills and was caught in another casino gambling. 3% of the population has a problem of magnitude with gambling, but I don't on my own.

    Hometown buffet is at the bottom of my list. Come to think of it any buffet is.


    A good old dinner or bar that has been around a long time makes me happy.

    Yeah, don't you just love the "NEW AND IMPROVED" in everything anymore. Usually just indicates a price increase. . .and less quality.:biggrin_25510:

    Nope not at all.I normally don't go back.It's like what the heck did you do can't you leave well enough alone.Some of these places spent thousands and have little business then before all because they thought remodeling would bring in more business.Like a lot of construction projects.I hate what they're doing to Sioux City.

    You'd love the Triple T in Tucson. I don't think they've renovated since the Smokey and the Bandit days.

    That's sad if true. Omar's is world famous.

    Triple T seems to be as busy as ever. Pilot will get the big box companies of course but plenty of independents still out there.

    Having the Pilot nearby hasn't killed the Tennessean

    Still tiny. I don't think they could expand even if they wanted to.

    I was only at the Tennessean once but turned the wrong way and ended up at the Pilot,took me 15 minutes just to get out of there.Anyway I hope Tennessean don't remodel,they have the best bbq and service.
