Code Blu Juice Bar on Allen
Category: food
Finally, something is opening up on the desolate corner of Allen across from Cathode. Its a juice bar called Code Blu. While I am excited about tge potential for something new and tasty, I think that might have been an unfortunate choice in names - considering they are a block away from a massive medical campus whose workers could potentially be a large percentage of customers.

As per Wikipedia:

Code Blue - Generally is used to indicate a patient requiring immediate resuscitation, most often as the result of a cardiac arrest.



I realize they dropped off the "e" but that doesn't come across verbally.

That name has potential. "hey man, I am code blu-ed out! Oooh a code, blu smoothie will resuscitate you!"
tinypliny - 07/01/11 23:27
It's been "coming soon" for several months now. Definitely a code blue situation.

I didn't know the term....Wonder if everything they sell will be blue or if they use blueberry as a base if so that juice will be costly very costly blue berries aren't cheap unlike apple juice.....

For amusement only
Category: games
This video game machine at New York Pizza on Allen is so old fashioned. The graphics are about the quality of an intellivision game from the same era but it has a nostalgic feel.

For amusement only? What else is a videogame supposed to do?
mrmike - 07/01/11 19:40
Hard not to be charmed by it though
metalpeter - 07/01/11 17:39
This is (not sure when they started doing this) a new old video game... At the time all it had was Galaga but now you can play many games from that time.... Now what I don't know is if they are full level of those games.... What I mean is if you where good enough at some of those old arcade games you could go pretty far not sure if you could ever really win them or just get the high Score.... I think the reason for the Amusement only is that (this may have only been a rumor) but they had games that if you did well enough you would win things and they had tournaments and stuff...... But I wasn't an arcade rat or what ever those people where called.... By the way one of the game systems not sure what one has a bunch of those games on one disc if you like them......

High Five HSBC
Category: buffalo
In response to (e:Mike) high giving the sky way.

super lol@ (e:metalpeter)'s comment.
metalpeter - 07/01/11 17:30
yes more of a cupping and from a different perspective it looks more like Godzilla giving it a little tap and since he can't control his strength down it goes........
tinypliny - 07/01/11 02:01
The man in the shades does not approve.
tinypliny - 06/30/11 21:31
That looks scary. Like you are about to knock it down. Where is (e:Mike)'s high-five face reciprocal?
mike - 06/30/11 21:31
that's actually more cupping it gently than high fiving

Lowest or the Low
Category: music
Well, I missed the concert at the town ball room a few months back at the town ballroom and now I am seeing them at the habour. Sadly no one I know even knows who they are. Clearly the crowd up front does.

I added them when I got home and was more capable.
mrmike - 07/02/11 11:12

tinypliny - 07/01/11 19:44

metalpeter - 07/01/11 17:27
Looks like you had a good time ... I have heard the name but don't know a single song.....
tinypliny - 06/30/11 19:59
