My comment was directed at the OP's complaining about what is suburbia. There are options out there and people should seek out what they prefer.

I for one don't particularly like chain restaurants. Especially full service chains like Chili's, but I don't waste time pushing an agenda.

My biggest gripe with these type of developments are the impact they have on local wildlife. Pretty sad.

+1 for McAllister's: I used to live near one and ate there often - their chilli was quite good. There baked potato is massive! (really two, spliced together).

Anyone have any experience with the Another Broken Egg Cafe?
You gotta give them points just for the name.

Did you happen to drive past Park West Village after they clear cut the land?

There was an enormous tree out there, still standing. I presume it was an oak. Just massive. Probably been there hundreds of years.

It was really sad. They chopped it down a few days later.

I went to Another Broken Egg today for lunch. I got the french toast and my friend had the turkey sandwich. Cute place. It is a bit expensive. I think most of the sandwiches were like $8.99 or so. A lot on the brunch menu is $11-12.
But they do use quality food, so that was a plus. Just a little expensive for lunch but maybe not for a nice brunch.

Does anyone know when the McAlisters Deli is opening? A lot of others things seem to be popping and they have had an opening soon sign forever. I heard it was May 2012 but that has come and gone...

Had me a Cajun omelet at Another Broken Egg. Pretty darn good but pricey!

Just read that Park West just signed Firebirds also and I believe Gander Mtn is now open.

I had heard about Firebirds and Gander Mtn is definitely open. Was going to go by there last Friday but ran out of time. Another Broken Egg is very good. Great waffles and French toast.

Tangentially related but what's going to happen to Park Place 16 when the new theater opens at Park West Village?

Will it close? Become a cheap second run theater like Blue Ridge? Do something else to carve a niche like turn into a dine-in outfit? I'll probably keep going to Park Place as long as it's open. Something about newer theaters just bothers me. They seem more expensive and there are too many teens running around being... well, teens.
