Awesome reviews!  Thank you Cari!  I look forward to more!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Just hop on over the river to Aix or BB's, now there are some great lunch spots.

I miss working downtown and having those lunch time options available to me. If only I could have been picky about my job search! There's just something about stepping out on your lunch break and walking the downtown streets that a ride down Southside blvd doesn't quite replace.

Great reviews Cari! I went to highschool with you husband, glad to hear you guys are living in riverside- I love when beach people cross the ditch :)

Justin's City Place looks delicious.  I hope they have evening or Saturday hours so I can check it out.

I was wondering...I don't get out much late in the evening. Once I am home, I'm home. But I work downtown and wondered if any other MJ members also work downtown and might want to meet sometime at one of the downtown eateries for lunch to meet and greet and eat. Maybe just an informal gathering. I'd like to meet some of the regulars on MJ and put a face to a screen name.

Per their website they aren't open weekends, but are open until 6 or 7 on weekday evenings.

At least you've still got unique and delicious places like McDonalds and KFC.
Conformulate. Be conformulatable! It's a perfectly cromulent deed.

Jbroadglide - I'm in for almost any day during the week. Personally I love the MC, but can handle anything new. And I've never been in the Skyline.

I'd love to meet with you guys for lunch sometime. Any other takers?

Alright then all we have to do is pick a day, a time and a place. Lets set this down the road a bit so everyone has time to plan their schedules. How about June 30, last day of June. Time anywhere between 11:30am and 1:30pm. Place? I only have a couple places I eat at so I am open to suggestions.

Open the floor for discussion..
