Wonder where all those people hanging out there park...? :headscratch:

They exercise patience and park where spots are available. It sounds obvious but I think street parking is available although not plentiful. There are a few parking lots but they require one's attendance at certain shops.

Yeah, that's like in Westwood Village.

An apt analogy. All in all, despite the tight parking I'm sure you can find parking with a
little patience....:)

Went to a Ramen restaurant today for lunch. Nothing like a steaming bowl with some gyoza on the side. :drooling:

You were at Ramen Mottainai????? :victory:

I picked up a sandwich for lunch earlier today on Melrose and I saw this Coca Cola drink fountain form the Jetsons' Age.

Touchscreen. Serves over 20 different drinks from the same fountain.

Do all those drinks come out of the same spout?

Apparently.

^ Haven't seen anything like that before... No button for ice?

I think if you push your cup against the stainless steel thingie under the drink nozzle/spout you'll get ice.

Sounds like the flavors would be contaminated by the previous ones. :beaten:

I thought about that but surely they must have employed some wizardry to contemplate for that possibility.

Ahhh......

Well, the use of judicious magic can come in handy. :victory:

May the Force beef with you

A not-so long time ago in a galaxy far, far away - better known as France, Belgium and Luxembourg - there was a disturbance in the fast food Force.

According to French newspaper L'Express, burger chain Quick will promote the 3D release of gStar Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menaceh by way of a commemoration fit for Jabba the Hutt: with character-themed, double-decker burgers.

The ad campaign, wielding the slogan "choisis ton côté de la Force" (choose your side of the force), will begin on January 31 and end on March 5.

Much like the Galactic Senate itself, Quick seeks to broker peaceful compromise by offering three galactic-themed sandwiches for Chewies everywhere: the Dark Burger, the Jedi Burger and the Dark Vador Burger (whose spelling was seemingly lost in translation).

For those drawn to the "quicker, easier, more seductive" lure of the Dark Side, the Dark Vador [sic] Burger sports a fittingly black-hued bun.

If the Jedi burger is your chosen one, the bun unfortunately lacks a Yoda-esque green dye job. And for those feeling more Sith-like, there's the Dark Burger fashioned for Darth Maul - because nothing says evil like a sprinkling of poppy seeds.

See the product pictures, you can at MintInBox.net.
