cool hand luke on 27th ave?

these mighta been like this for a while, and surely they're just in the process of being installed so that the city can make sure that NOBODY stops at any of the shops on the 3000 block of 27th, but since paul newman's death is so recent, and cool hand luke was such an awesome movie, i wanna just pretend that his ghost came and did this or something...

ghandi mahal

go here for delicious...



they're located just south of lake on 27th ave (ya know, kinda by the town talk).

i'm no expert in indian food, but THIS is the best i've had. YUM!!

oh, and 2 things:

1 - i have NO association with the restaurant
2 - i DO realize that this is becoming a "27th and lake" blog

denny's skillcrane breakfast idea

the must be the post-equinox light, but at around 6:00 as i was walking by the denny's across from the town talk dinner, that there's a skillcrane near the door:



so the idea of a skillcrane based self-serve breakfast bar popped into my head.

really! won't it be totally awesome? there could be dif skillcranes for eggs, and pancakes, and hashbrowns, and toast. i suppose bacon and sausage could be in the same one, since they're both super greasy.

it could be a charge by the ounce set-up, or better yet ALL YOU CAN EAT, cuz it'd really turn into all you can GRAB, which from my experience would not be much.

there'd probably have to be different types of claws or scoops depending on the food item, but that shouldn't be a problem.

there could even be a self-serve desert thing with pudding and/or ice cream!

the only drawback that i can see if that this sorta thing might not be very sanitary if the machines aren't thoroughly cleaned.

so, there ya go. if anybody actually reads this and wants to run with my idea, it's all your. best of luck with it.

totally as an aside...one of the most satisfying breakfast's i've ever eaten was after a skullcranes show in cedar falls, iowa. golden fucking pancake, indeed. (pretty sure it wasn't a golden pancake, but it was STILL delish) on my mind cuzza breakfast, and well, "skill", "skull"...

patrick's cabaret

it looks like the work on the building is done, and there's brand new flag too...

take THAT subway

noticed these at rainbow...



the picture DOES NOT do them justice. they're enormous!! looks like they're mostly bread, but still...

bike rack jackass

is this like the equivalent of those dicks who have to park there "awesome" car diagonally in a parking lot resulting in 2 (or more) spots being taken. seriously this dude (it's gotta be a dude) is taking up like at least FIVE spots.

actually much ado about nothing, since the other rack had only 1 bike on it as well. parked correctly, i might ad.

lake/hiawatha rainbow.

ralph nader as adam

so i saw this nader poster and immediately thought of the sistine chapel. in the photo nader would be adam.

sure hope the "big guy" ("big gal?) upstairs has a sense of humor...

altho, i guess it IS true that voters are what give politicians life, so maybe it's not THAT bad.

(oh, and this was taken on my phone at arm's length and it was super sunny out and i had no way of seeing how the photo was going to work, but it DID, so maybe it's "meant to be")

lady liberty takes a break

noticed this while walking passed the "liberty tax" office near rainbow on lake/minnehaha...

half staff

the flag that's in front of the arby's (or maybe car-x) near lake/hiawatha looks like it's at half-staff from the corner of lake/27th, because there's a supertall power pole behind it. i don't know how many times i've caught it out of the corner of my eye and wondered what was going on.
