What about clothes for your kiddos? There are several good kid's clothing shops there. Other than that, I would have to agree. Hooter's excluded of course.

I have my niches that I am very good at. Pretty good at trivial pursuit too. I think if we go to BWW and play trivia, we should use our screen names here. That way we know a SBLiver is lurking on the premises and might be fun to guess who it is.

I have heard the Cheesecake Bistro is very good. I haven't been there. Be careful with the outlets. I went to a ralph lauren outlet in San Marcos, TX, where baby sis went to school. I bought several long sleeve shirts. When I got home the tails were too short to stay tucked in!

Now Morpheus you know us women would try the things on while still in the store. We like to know before we get home if it's going to work or not!;)

Hello?? The Boardwalk has crab! Joe's Crab Shack. Dungenous Crab.....Snow Crab..........................Alaskan King CRAB...

Support the Deadliest Catch!!!

heck joe I figured you'd like crab knowing that one out of every 100 fishermen die each season (on average) catching the delicacy (Dungenous excluded). That's pretty sick but I love it!

I tried the shirts on, but did not tuck them in! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings on Youree, in Shreveport. The food was much better than the one in Bossier. Overall the restaurant is smaller. I swear there is no one over 18 working there, and I don't know what kind of training they received, but our waitress didn't have a clue. They didn't even know what I was talking about when I asked for a trivia box.

Speaking of trivia, the competition was decent with somewhere around 12-14 people playing. I won the one round I played, but it was super close and I had to tune out Mrs. Morph on more than one occasion. She was not pleased so this may not be a good date place.

I hope the service picks up, because otherwise this place will be closed within a year. I wouldn't go back, except for the trivia game and the Caribbean jerk sauce.

I've been to the one in the Boardwalk I think it's the same chain? But didn't play the trivia game. It does sound like something I'd enjoy and be good at.
How does it work in the restaurant setting?

yeah it's the same chain. the name of the game is buzz time trivia. just ask your server for a box.

I got to thinking if it's sports trivia I might not do so well, but just general like current events, entertainment etc. I'd do alright.

they have different games at different times. here is the schedule.

That's neat! So you are playing against other people not just against yourself then?

Nerd patrol !! :eek::eek:

and proud of it!!! Actually I prefer geek.

If nerds enjoy playing games and especially board games with their family then I'm definitely one!:shocked:Sounds like I'm in good company too!

Pokie, I've played and its alot of fun! Especially if your in a small group, because you play against the other patrons-:D When I was in Austin a few months ago, I noticed several of the bars were doing this too-

OK MR. GEEK it will be and Pokie the Nerd !!! Come on Vix man up here :laugh:
I have a whole house full of board game kids and other family too. That is my sign to move to the back and find a good tv show or read.

Right now my favorite store is E-BAY BABY!!! Gotta go win something!:D

Maybe covered here already, but what stores do you need/want? I'll throw out a few off top of my head (and excuse me if you already have them) even though the population may not support one there, they're nice to have all the same -probably some things I'd miss if moved back to town.

• Apple Store
• Trader Joes
• Lowes Foods/Whole Food Market (or similar)*
• REI **
• COSTCO***
• Nordstrums

*in general you have some good grocery stores - but they seem a few (5-10)years behind in what's offered, layout, etc. Mainly going by Kroger and what's the other... Brookshires -so my exposer is limited. But hey, if the prices are good that's not so bad.
**REI would be a nice balance to the Bass Pro Shop. But build them far apart... in fact don't let them touch, it would be like matter meeting anti-matter...
*** compare SAMs. a matter of taste I suppose. Not saying one is "better taste" then the other, just a different choice. I prefer COSTCO.

Just received Morphette's one piece lavender ski outfit, mittens and two pairs of long underwear from REI online! I do wish we had one here, but I don't think the market is big enough.

Ditto with whole foods. Not enough wealthy liberals to make it fly. Most of the money is with the old guard republicans.

Shreveport will get an Apple store right after it gets a Tiffany's.

LOL - that's just what happened here in Charlotte. Can't say I've bothered to go into the Tiffs though (it's right down the hall from the Apple store).

Morpheus - yeah, Whole Foods, it's not cheap but the quality meat and such are great. Plus you can even "dine" there with the whole selction and range of prepared food options and food stations. There's not one here but my company is based in Redmond, WA and it's right next to a hotel I stay at from time to time. FYI: I got the REI co-op membership and get a few bucks back each year on on my purchases. Not sure if you bothered for one purchase (I joined in the mid 90s and not sure how much it was... but now a one time $15 fee)...

Yeah I'm an REI member. I used to live in Houston and we had a whole foods with a whole earth provisions hooked on to the side. I think it was on shepherd in the same vicinity as this huge tower records that had music crammed into every conceivable nook and cranny. I do miss the variety of shopping there. 1/2 price books was another favorite.
