Talk about dive, how could they leave off Club Schmitz?

I wish the reviewers would begin noting if the places they review have WiFi. I'm trying to make a list of the places I've been that have WiFi and as I often dine alone it's nice to be able to access one's Slingbox, surf or work on email without having to use data time.

I wonder if that Camaro has the original 350 with the solid lifter cam, Rochester quad and Vette heads? I'll bet it's a crate.

They're building an In-In-Out at LBJ and Midway, southwest corner.

I think their fries are too thin. By the time you get halfway through your burger the fries are cold.

Those missing Fish on Fire? I thought I saw a Top Cat sign going up in a strip center on Belt Line near Midway. I don't like Top Cat as much as their Hook Line 'N Sinker but they're better than Red Lobster! Also there's a not so best kept secret in Seafood Shack. A former Dairy Queen on Webbs Chapel & Forest. Almost as many varieties of seafood cocktail as Baskin Robbins ice cream!

I've been going to Club Schmitz for years. For years it was a big hangout for OU alumni on Friday nights before the Texas OU game. I was there one Saturday when a silver haired man in a red SMU sweater was leaving when he was called over to one of the tables. He approached the table holding out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Don McIlhenny!" Don was a former running back for SMU, Detroit and even played with the Cowboys. He's the father of star SMY quarterback Lance McIlhenny. How cool is that! I think Schmitz is going to become famous once the Bachman depot for the Dart Green Line opens 100 feet from their door!

I was disappointed. Shredded lettuce and as I recall the buns were funky. Put icing on the buns and you'd have a sweet roll!

What was that? I can't hear you! Say again! It's too loud! Let's go outside so I can hear what you're saying! (Outside) There, that's better. Now what did you say? Yeah, me too.

Bailey's is another of the many "Point" sports bar/restaurants in the area. For those who don't remember, they had been around for years but were moved out of their digs by Central Market on Lovers Lane. Not that I'm complaining! Everything you've heard about their burgers is true! They are well seasoned, juicy and HUGE 3/4 lb but cut in half to be manageable with one hand. This leaves the other hand free to scarf those tasty hand cut cottage fries and the delectable chili cartillas peppers. Ask for extra peppers as they are addictive. Like most of the other "Points", Baileys is frequented by neighborhood locals. If you're not in the Mockingbird Abrams area no need to flush gallons of gas, you can get the same burgers at any of the other "Points" including Addison Point (Beltline), Midway Point (Midway/LBJ) Northpointe Greenville between Forest and LBJ, Maple Point (Maple/Butler) or the Point West (NW Hwy west of 35E). There's some kind of Point in Old Town Village I haven't checked out so I don't know if it's part of the family. Have a burger at any of these places and you'll get the Point!

Dunkin has never been in the same class as Krispy Kreme or Southern Maid. Best thing I remember about Dunkin is dunkin my wick with a gal who work at one.

I believe Blanca has closed this location.

Why would anyone name a Tex Mex restaurant Casablanca? Probably someone who missed a geography question on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader! When I associate Casablanca and restaurant, it takes me to Cambridge, MA. Excellent!
