I always say Reno''s East is where you go to find your 3rd wife after your 2nd wife that you met at Jimmy's Pub leaves you.

I'd say the MAC or Whole Foods would be a better place for a 2nd (or 3rd) wife.

The people at Whole Foods freak me out. I'm there at least once a week and it's always a Museum of Human Oddities.

Of course, I suspect they think the same of me.

I’ve never seen anything but normal looking peeps at WF. Okay, there was this one time a few weeks ago when this dude with full neck and face tattoos was checking out, but he was with a couple of older folks who seemed very nice and sweet, so he didn’t go in my freak file.

I was there yesterday.

It seems like most of the people that go there dress like they hiked there via the Pacific Coast Trail ...or kayaked their way up Grand River.

Maybe spelunked. Some look like they spelunked their way there.

Of course, they didnt.. they just give the illusion of it.

I'm more of a Costco man myself. Discount pre-mixed margherita by the gallon. And some nice cheap khakis.

Don't tell me this board isn't full of ADD posters. And I'm not making fun of ADD, I'm making an observation.

Lets start out a possible gambling thread:
Lets make it a bar critic thread
Lets talk about divorce and meeting wives
Move on to Whole foods and freaks who shop there.

12 posts/ four or five topics including this one.

This board is great.

It's the natural, organic evolution.

You can't harness it. You just have to admire it.

Not sure if some shopping Whole Foods are yet aware it's owned by Amazon and degrading their purposeful shopping experience.

What do you want DWags, I said I was in?! Jesus, I don’t need this shit. I just got back from a bike ride and my wife didn’t make dinner so we have to deal with that right now. And my daughter lost a shoe at school today. Like, WTF? How does a 13 year old lose a shoe?

Jimmy's food is decent and the place is clean. Renos, not so much.

Did you check to see if she still has the leg that shoe was attached to?

Don’t make your one-legged daughter fix dinner. That would be mean and take forever.

When I used to work in EL we went to Jimmy's when it was by Frandor... was wondering if it was still decent being in the middle of the apartment hellscape north of Lake Lansing.

Just visited the house I grew up in Bath this weekend. When did they tear the RR tracks out?

I am in as long as the winnings goes to something useful, like Ukraine refugees, and not to destroying livers and stomachs at Reno's.

I think I've been there once. Met friends and sat on the patio. The demographic seemed a little golf-y.

This is a great idea. And, it’s not crazy money then. We can make it a $10-$20 Biane, we all believe the Spartans are going to win more than 4 1/2, and we are I believe on the side of righteousness. If you want to do something like that, PM me. I will place a bet for as many who want in the pool, and I will send the winnings next fall to Heat. I’m pretty sure he would know exactly what to do with the money.

I like that, gambling for humanity. Debauchery for righteousness.

I’m willing.

Back in the 1950's when I lived there, yes. On the south side of Sleight Road. I think they came over from DeWitt, and then went over to Westphalia. Kids used to put pennies on them to have the trains flatten them. I recall even seeing a steam locomotive on them once.

Found an old, 1860's map showing the RR. It didn't go exactly where I remembered.
