DonRocks Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 In my spare time (ha ha), I've been making a sequential sweep through this forum, and have now made it back to Jan 1, 2014 - over 23 pages and 1,160 posts, all current in their titles, tagging, indexing, and ranking in the Dining Guides. 23 pages down, 47 to go ... whew. We have several *thousand* restaurants covered in this forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookluvingbabe Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It's a good nuts. A while back, I went through and tried to figure out what was the oldest thread of a still open place. The goal was to go and update the thread. I think it is Cafe Berlin. Or maybe that is the oldest that is anywhere in the realm of my getting to. And I quite liked it. In the 90s... But I haven't gone. I should though. It isn't far from my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Boy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I like to 'dumpster dive' the old threads and breathe new life in to them when possible. Honestly though, DR, the bottom 10 or so pages are the debris field of a Fukushima-styled restaurant closing wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Honestly though, DR, the bottom 10 or so pages are the debris field of a Fukushima-styled restaurant closing wasteland. I never, ever joke about restaurants closing ... *unless* they're on the last couple of pages - in that case, I do my very best (you'll notice some really bad puns on the restaurants' names). So, who's up for reviewing Pistone's Italian Inn, or Allman's in Fredericksburg? Dumpster Dive! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Boy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I didn't mean to poke fun at the passing of so many former restaurants, but most of the ones at the bottom of the topics list are 6 to 10 years old since the last post, so from my perspective enough time has passed, hasn't it? The many ways you state the place is no longer with us is appropriate and often funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
