QuoteI did. And you are.

Why on earth would you post this kind of stuff on her behalf?

Btw, the owner of this remarkable little place is also Jaxbrewbitch, a pretty awesome beer blogger.

Mtrain aside, stop by and check the place out.  I ran into Cari Sanchez Potter and a few other riverside notables Saturday afternoon.  Its such a cool laid back venue.

She's getting her pinnacle system in place (the restaurant computer thingys).to help the process, and theyve been using square for credit card processing--- all off of iPads.  She was actually quite delighted to have been slammed with so much business, and at the end of the night to be able to recount the moments of sheer crazy that go into a good night of sales.

Shame on you mtrain for introducing the bar and the trolley route in such a fashion.

ROTLMAO, I sat there with Regina, we were the only ones there last Tuesday was in there with brokers from CB Richard Ellis as well as a guy who was interested in opening a similar place. We commented on Rob's art work in the bar, yet another good friend.  When we went back the next night, "Thursday", we saw Quinn working there, he used to work at Terra, then ran into Regina later that night next door at Lola's.

Let me know when you want to meet up at Silver Cow, perhaps she can set the record straight. She got flowers out of me the last time I visited her. So close to Valentines day, she said Whit would be OK with it. Cari is great,  I see her all the time, she stops by my neighbor who is one of the chefs of the Intuition Beer Dinners, the owner of a successful restaurant, who is looking to open another in Brooklyn. Maybe he could hire you as a short order cook?!

You want to borrow a dustpan to pick up all those names you just dropped?

Glad some one pointed out the MTRAIN is the KING of name dropping.  Somehow these supposed informants are not always 100% accurate on their info though.  Maybe its the filter the news is going through.

The trolley runs again this Friday and Saturday night.

Not only is using the trolley FUN, but your support this weekend is critical if this is to be expanded into a full time service that one day also goes into downtown...

Also, Rain Dogs in Five Points has joined the list of merchants who are selling passes to ride the trolley all night for $4 (otherwise, each trip costs $1.50 and requires exact change).

Passes can also be purchased at Open Road Bicycles, Let Them Eat Cake and Green Man Gourmet in Avondale... European Street Cafe, Intuition Ale Works and Bold City Brewery in the King Street District... and Grassroots in Five Points.

Just bumping this up as a reminder that the Riverside Avondale Night Trolley is this Friday and Saturday.

You and Stephen steal all the glasses you can Friday AND Saturday night. Can't wait for the bitching to start along King Street. Maybe those who steal booze will get a ride in the back seat of a police car, and enjoy a free ride to central booking where we can all see your lovely mug shot, after meeting your same sex soulmate in the holding cell, and laugh at you for being such an idiot. Yeah, those names are public!  :o

^ can you at least admit that the trolley has brought more customer to area businesses without generating additional traffic/parking problems?

Trolley runs tonight.

Drivers do not make change, exact fare ($1.50 per trip) is required.

I would encourage you to buy passes ahead of time at either:
European Street Cafe
Intuition
Bold City
Grass roots
Let them Eat Cake
Green Man Gourmet -

Weather is perfect inside the trolley, and by accessing trolley.jaxmob.com from your smartphone you'll know exactly where the trolleys are at all times. That means you won't have to stay outside in inclement weather for long.

Rumor has it that Bold City Brewery has released their latest Bold Bean Coffee Stout collaberation and American Hustle is playing at Sun Ray Cinema tonight.  Sounds like a great plan for my trolley riding itenirary.

In January, February and March you are expecting balmy breezes?  That said I am reeeely tired of winter too.
When all else fails hug the dog.

I would say the past two winters to this one were rather balmy. In fact my point is just seems this weekend has always been bad these past three months. You know kind of unlike last weekends balmy weather.  ;)

No one seems to have an answer to this question. I live in Arlington. If I drive to Riverside to ride the trolley is there a place to park?  The trolley seems to be geared toward people who live in the Riverside/Avondale area.

edjax

^^seems like you could just park in a lot or on the street near any of the stops and use the trolley.
