Fast Food--Tasty & Elegant

Okay, elegant may be too gushing a word, but we think you'll certainly find this food tasty. For those who have lamented the loss of Mr. Dog at Shoal Creek, the Creekside Cafe in now open. Give them a try and report back to us on how you liked it.

Just slightly to the east, the Elgin Grill is now open. This new establishment is located in the old Davis Burger House building and offers the usual mainstays plus carhops. That's right, you don't have to patronize the Sonic anymore in order to enjoy curb service, but we can't promise anyone on roller skates.

Finally, we've received numerous inquiries about Jack's on Florence Boulevard. Yes, this Birmingham chain is building a new restaurant immediately to the west of their present location. Management tells us this will reduce traffic hazards at their drive-thru, since all parking will be to the east of the building. There will also be greatly increased parking facilities, as well as larger and more elegant restrooms. All this plus the best biscuits in the Western Hemisphere? Who could ask for more?


What's up with this: The TimesDaily can't seem to decide if the punishment for First Degree Rape is ten years or twenty.
