Re: Favorite Ethnic Restaraunt

I haven't been there in a while, but I used to really like the Meditteranean Bistro around 120th & Blondo (Franklin). I just ate at Mediterranean Bistro this past weekend. I have to get my fix every other month. The food there is fantastic.. As it relates to El Basha, to each their own. The las...

I’ll chime in here with a couple comments- Gold Mountain is about as authentic a Chinese/Vietnamese Asian restaurant as you’ll find in the metro. It’s one of only a handful of places that serve Dim Sum.. Someone mentioned El Basha for Mediterranean food. The last several times I’ve dined there, the ...

Re: 2019 Severe Weather Thread

Our forecasting of strong thunderstorms is better than it has ever been, to a point that we almost know there is or isn't good p...
