Many thanks from all of us with allergies, as well. That extra distance helps me breathe easier, sometimes.

Haruno, Kai, Lindberg's, Van Gogh's, Neighborhood Pizza, Retro Metro, Farmers Gastropub are my favorites.

Pampa Empanadas is a must try that hasn't been mentioned. All of their empanadas are so damn good.

Yeah that’s totally fair. I made this comment when the answer was -4 and no additional responses. I’m just used to seeing people share their opinions in addition to downvoting

Stick it in your ear!

Cafe Cusco, That Lebanese Place, and Gilmore’s Tea Room are all tasty (in my opinion) and all on Commercial Street. I also love Thai Express, though I have not been there since they moved to Republic Road. Also Bambino’s, near Phelps Grove Park, is really good.

Get some gloves and smear the shit on the dog every time and before long they'll stop letting it run loose if they think it's going to roll in shit every time.

Value is for the customer to decide. I’d argue that if these restaurants have been in the black for so long, their pricing must be fine. I worked for the J family and did not think I was underpaid; and every employee may leave and quickly find a new role based on the industry right now.

This is the answer

This is the correct answer

So? Some people do. Lol

Does Zayka have their buffet back? Last time I check they still weren’t offering it.

For the OP, a note about the Sub shop it is cash only.

Stick It In Your Ear and Heavy Heads Records are the ones i frequent. terrible punk & hardcore selection, though.

These are very high quality and won't break like the regular plastic ones. I'm not sure if they're much more expensive than cheap plastic ones you buy in smaller quantities at walmart. But having 50 high quality hangers delivered to your doorstep for 20 bucks is pretty great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FXNAAW2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Doesn't change the situation that escalating the problem does nothing but cause more problems. Wasn't asking anybody for advice on how to handle asshats, thanks tho.

Yep, because of his temper and lack of responsibility.

It doesn't change the facts of the situation as you have laid them out. Letting dogs out without a leash and you getting between your dog and their dogs could have ended really badly for you. You just became the barrier that gets bit.

Him grabbing a blunt object and threatening you with it is grounds for self defense, particularly the closer he gets. If he was hurling insults from the porch and being an asshole but not being threatening, you can't walk up and pepper spray him. That's not the situation you laid out above.

So you can choose to not go that option, but understand what you did is not recommended. If your neighbor is a shitbird and it sounds like he is, treat him like one. If he did something that was a genuine threat against you, make him not do it again.

And then I have a pissed off neighbor looking for revenge.

Nope, this is actually a valid answer. The moment he picks up a blunt object and starts running at you purposefully threatening you, you are completely clear to bust out the pepper spray. That is not an assault charge and pepper spray done correctly typically doesn't actually harm dogs.

It can make them go more fight-or-flight, so once you spray them, get out of the situation and call the police. Some dogs will whine and cry, some run away, some get more aggressive.

I'm a gun person. I carry every time I leave my house. I'm serious about it too and I don't slack on it.

What you described above really doesn't meet the requirements for use of deadly force against someone else's dog until the dogs started attacking each other or you.

The better option honestly is pepper spray. Yes, sometimes you need to be able to resolve the situation with violence. Proper use of pepper spray won't permanently harm dogs but it can make them fight or flight, so once it happens, gtfo.

Try Cesar's Old Mexico. Place slaps. I have also been really fond of a joint called Momo lately.

Same here. And you couldn't pay me to eat there.

Corner 21! Delicious and more authentic than the rest of Springfield’s Chinese offerings.

If you like McAlister's, you might try Neighbor's Mill on Independence. Same kind of stuff, a little better quality. Plus they have pastries!

Char, black sheep, and flame are good places to avoid. They are over priced with underpaid staff and very transphobic

Apparently someone some people on this sub don’t like Cafe Cusco.
