Half the posts in my IG feed are announcements of closures these days, so this project may, unfortunately, be getting easier to do as time goes on 😟

Anyhow, a "review" of whether Korea does both presidential accountability and Cajun food better than the US or not.

009: CRU PVD You shouldn't begin by waxing rhapsodical about Bayberry Beer Hall, the previous tenant of this space, anchoring a corner of West Fountain, a stone's throw from the Public Safety Complex and its atten...

008: West Side Diner And service at the West Side Diner is fast enough that you're handed a cup of coffee practically as you sit down. To call the meal "simple" is to do it a disservice

004: Pizza J This is the spawn of Julian's, a few blocks away on Broadway, where every weekend people are gathered for brunch as you walk Saga down the sidewalk.

I will say, I do not miss this version of myself from nearly a year ago. He was much improved on what came before, sure, but it's a long journey from there to here.

#002: The Point Tavern

A lot of these early essays were written in a certain moment, now long past. The significance of this place has only grown for me since. Ironic, given I had to be dragged here by a friend I've known for 30 years the first time I came.
