Reply to Busiek! by DirtyOldSamurai

I hiked at Busiek last weekend on the gun range side. Trails are in normal condition but the water was up. There are several crossings on that side so if you hike there be sure you’re prepared to cross water. I was able to do so without getting my boots wet, albeit with some maneuvering.

I have the same experience. They mixed the orders of my partner and I together, got some of the meats wrong, didn't include one I paid extra for, and people think this is gold tier dining?

Fuck, at this point a middle schooler could make a more competent lunch.

HARD disagree. Smokin Bob's is fantastic and one of the best bbq spots in town for service and flavor.

Now if we want to say a bbq place that has no right to be open it would be Getting Basted. Took over an hour to get three orders of half ribs. Plus they stopped me during my order to tell me that almost everyone who's tried the beans hates them. What bbq is going to stop your order to tell you their food sucks? No thanks.

People are allowed to give a place a poor review. Just because you like it doesn't make it cool to tell others their negative opinion is wrong.

I've had horrible service at Crosstown before. They messed up more than basic fast food or a late night waffle house. I too prefer a range of bbq places around town that I consider to be better in taste and service.

Ah yes, the place that messed up every aspect of my order when I went isn't doing the best? That's unfortunate.

Being one of two cars in a drive thru when I went. Ordered lunch for my partner and I. Two entrees total with a couple of sides each, and a rib to sample the place. The meals and sides were all mixed between the orders, a couple of the meats were wrong, and I never got the ribs that I paid for.

It tasted, fine, but the attention to detail was abhorrent.

So no, I don't care to give them another dollar. Smoking Bob's is great. Plus Stusquatch's just opened on West Sunshine and it's shockingly good.

If people want to support a local business, go try Stusquatch's! It's near Red's close to Nathaniel Greene

Along with this willow creek is also nice (a bit more at like $825) but keep in mind most Wooten properties don't allow you to sign a lease months in advance. You'll need to check a month or two in advance and keep in communication or asked to be put on a wait list if something opens up

Ugh. He tried calling our club wanting to do a private party. Wanted us to close our business to the public. Wanted to sell tickets to our building instead of us having our cover. Plus wanted us to pay him a large sum of money for such a great deal.

His people screamed and insulted ours when we politely said that we wouldn't be taking that offer.

I too got to see that concert at Krave. He was burnt out then, and his people are shitty now. No thank you.

Reply to comment by RayMan89477 in Bass Pro's light pollution as seen from Sunset and Jefferson by Cloud_Disconnected

Why do people dislike Bass Pro/Johnny Morris? It's politics mostly. They don't like Republicans and what they represent. And the stereotypical Republican likes guns, trucks, hunting, fishing etc., things closely associated with Bass Pro.

I like shopping at Bass Pro, and I like guns and fishing. I'm probably liberal by Springfield standards, but other places I'd be considered centrist. For me, it's not about politics. Sign's too bright. End of story. You don't think it's too bright? Good for you, I'm glad it doesn't bother you.

I already told someone else that where you live has no impact on my opinion about the sign. I don't care if you live inside the sign and think it should be 10x brighter. I think it's too bright.
