Hong Kong Inn is Midwest American-Chinese fast food and do a damn good job of it.

For contrast, Happy China is New York style...that's why they are a little bit different. I haven't had it, but Corner 21 looks to be more New York style as well.

Then you have Panda Express in town which is West Coast style.

Totally different foods, they should not be compared. Personally, I grew up on NY style and prefer it, but HK Inn is really good too. The rest of the places around town, I could take em or leave em.

I've travelled through China and Southeast Asia for work, and live in Chicago now, and man if Corner 21 is fire your minds would be blown branching out even further. Also, off in another Asian category but the Poke bowls at Craft Sushi are very good by national/global standards.

This is how I'm leaning. This is a tweet he sent out about an hour after he wrapped his show at MSU last night. He didn't spend all day sampling cashew chicken from every other Chinese joint in town. He most likely had an assistant go out/order delivery from three places that had good enough reviews, or got recommendations from staff at Hammonds Hall.

That said, I wish he named who the other two are.

Here is a study that shows that legalized MEDICAL marijuana reduces the number of opiates prescribed amongst the general population. It states that recreational marijuana did not have the same effect though, probably because those recreational states have pretty much all legalized medical first, so there was increased access for actual patients already.

Although this study does not factor in illicit use of opiates, only the number of valid prescriptions being filled. I would imagine illicit recreational opiate use would decrease with increased recreational marijuana.

It's all certainly worth more study.

We'll see a gentle spike in usage, and then a leveling off. Plenty of middle aged smokers who weren't willing to risk it, or didn't know how/where to acquire from the black market. Plus poorer folk who couldn't afford the medical license. I don't think it will be much of a spike though.

What you're probably missing is that he likely didn't care much for any of them. If he thinks they're all kinda trashy, going for the one that really leans into the trashiness is right up his alley.

Quick sidebar, got the cashew from Triple 8’s last week and it was some of the worst I’ve had in all my Springfield cashew experiences. Are they slipping or just not as good as I remember?

Sadly I won’t eat at Waffle House food was good but I have went there 4 times since I was a kid and I’m 32 now and each time I have went there has either been a knot of hair or entire hairnets in my meal and that sadly ruined it doesn’t help that these where different waffle houses through the us including mo, Tennessee and nc if I remember correctly. If it wasn’t for that I would like it probably.

I don't think I've ever heard Hong Kong Inn and 'the best' in the same sentence before unless it's 'Hong Kong Inn is the best place to find hillbillies stuck in a drive thru line after work'. Seriously, thought this guy was a foodie of some sort and he's recommending the mexican villa of cheap Chinese?

OP has tried police intervention, so clearly wants protection of some sort. The best legal path to get the police to do something would be to follow the ex parte process. If he shows up, then he can be served.

A buddy of mine is a cop in town and he described it kinda like this.

Most violent crime happens to people who got involved with other people who likely would do violent crime for their fix.

BUT if you have an unlocked bike it'll probably be stolen and if you have stuff in an unlocked car it'll probably be stolen.

Technically we don’t have restraining orders in Missouri, but we do have ex partes (a restraining order can be used against anyone, an ex parte needs an established relationship). Here are the details and requirements to get one. This should qualify under Domestic Violence and Assault. An ex parte is active as soon as it’s been filed but it needs to be served by a sheriff’s deputy (civil division usually does this) to the respondent (who you are filing it against). If he can’t be tracked down, it’s going to be hard to serve it.

And ultimately, it is just a piece of paper. While he can be arrested for violating it, it won’t prevent anything from happening, especially when he’s in a state where he’s not really in touch with reality and may not be able to register what it is and what it involves.

Before moving out of my previous state Weed was legalized. Little changed. Businesses kept their drug testing policies. The law still arrested people for driving under the influence. People still were arrested for disturbing the peace. The only thing that changed is the parking lot deals moved into a store front. There were not hordes of pot heads out in public roaming the streets.
