I went with
(e:matthew) and
(e:terry) on an
(e:matthew,725) photo hunting adventures. I hadn't been to deleware park yet this year and what better a day for explorer city nature than earth day. I have to say, just as
(e:libertad,17) had mentioned there were lots of dead fish. In fact I don't think anything can live in that lake anymore. It seriously needs to be dredged. It is so sad that a waterway can be so totally damaged.
The river runs though it - Scajacquada Creek
At least the surrounding park is beautiful.
As everyone is talking about, the businesses seem realy sad about the hotel. You all know how I feel about it. If not just search my journal for hotel.
What is the key to these tree tags?
I haven't been on elmwood in a long time apparently, as I did not notice this place before or maybe tehy just didn't have the flasg before?
This tulip was so bright that the red sensors on my camera could not deal with it.
On another note, I am going to be way hot be beach time.
My butt is getting so buff.
yeah like peter said- I just always forget jimmy macs is there. But every time I HAVE eaten there, it was awesome.
That Burger looks awesome. I'm guessing one reason it isn't that packed is because people like myself forget it is there. I never knew they served food before the outdoor patio it looks like a bar and with those dark windows you can never tell if it is open or not.
Panos: I think those rules are for the late night crowd who come in after drinking and continue the party there by putting tables togather and getting 7 differant bills and then leaving a tiny tip or no tip at all, that is my guess at least. I love iceberg lettuce its crisp and crunchs and to me tastes much better but that is just me.
LoL. You went in last night when I was working...you probably saw me. Those rules are just overnight rules. Some are stupid. As for the lettuce, I will have to talk to somebody about that,.. We are very much known for our Slouvaki so I am sure Pano would like to hear who is screwing up. If ypyou did see me, I was wearing the black hat turned backwards :)
That is a fine lookin burger
And to answer your question... Do you remember yesterday when I was talking about the people that I have worked who don't have a clue why their restaurants are successful. well, this is one of those people. while extremely intelligent, actually received his undergrad from wharton's business school in economics, he lacks the fundamental knowledge to make customers happy and other resources that makes businesses successful such as a good internal/external marketing plan. Not to mention he pisses people off all the time by charging people $20 a head for a reservation over five not cancelled within 48 hours or the times he has called people at midnight, drunk, to find out why they blew off their reservation. He's just not customer orientated.
Hey, Mothers is successful so Jimmy Macs should be successful. Right??? Wrong. They are two totally different animals and what the guy doesn't understand is that the paradigm is at Jimmy Macs is completely different. The viral or buzz marketing that he relies on at Mothers doesn't work for Jimmy Macs, even with all the smoking controversy. It didn't help either that when they reopened they were under staffed with unknowledgable but extremely hot employees. It was mayhem and chaos, I don't think they will recover for a while. I offered my help and in response was asked, "why would I need your help?" I guess he'll know the answer to that when I get the call for my pricy consultation services.
Long story short, if you piss off the people who are paying your bills you won't be around for too long. What goes up must come down.
