I went to a wedding in downtown Lawrenceville a couple years ago and I thought the town was very charming. If it was closer to where I live I'm sure I'd spend a good bit of time there.

That would be cool! :-) They could set up an old fashioned civil war era train and make it an tourist draw.

Because they either don't know or don't want to admit to it?

Heck, even the pizza places around me are decent. Blue Moon, Syracusa's, DaVinci's, and Bella's are all quite good. Even the Chicago Pizza place by me is good. Not Edwardo's or Giordano's at all, but it'll do.

Does that mean people intown have to stop hanging out at the U-Joint now that it is a chain?

I think the cutoff is 5 locations.

I didn't know this. Where are the other U-Joint locations?

Looks like Lawrenceville and Clayton, GA are the only other 2 in GA:

Sister Bars

I didn't know they had one in Asheville. That's awesome.

Interesting. I had no idea they were affiliated with 97 Estoria. I wish they would put the some of the U-Joint quality into that dump.

It's too bad both of the bars in my neighborhood are so lame. Milltown Tavern: terrible food and service, full of douches. 97 Estoria: Terrible food, full of cokeheads and fratters trying to slum with hipsters.

I'd kill for a bar as good as the Yacht Club or U-Joint in the neighborhood.
