Tales of Restaurant Woe

Does anyone know of a site or forum for posting bad restaurant experiences?  I was so disgusted with the swarming fruit flies at Cairdeas Coffee last night that I wanted to post something, and found little individual restaurant sites, but no real forum for sharing "patron beware" stories.  Any suggestions?

    Your own blog is a good start. Googlers for info about the restaurant should find your blog if you blog the experience. StlBloggers is a nice second because of it's regional audience.

    Also Saucecafe.com and Cityscape have areas for reader/member reviews.

    I'd also suggest that the local devastation (economically, socially and all the other "--allies") caused by Katrina is "peanuts" compared to the devastation in Pakistan, and that Pakistan has fewer resources from which to draw than does the US.

    I second Christy's suggestion of saucecafe. Sauce Magazine is where I go to find out about a local restaurant.

    However, I'm not sure what Katrina and/or Pakistan have to do with flies in a local restaurant. Were the flies evacuees?

    Yes, well, I'm not firing on all cylinders today.

    Yea I was going to say, how about here?

    That would be a good idea as well, Ben. Assigning categories to posts, may be a possibility?

    The PD food forumn "Eat at Joe's" is definitely entertaining, and often informative...

I heartily agree to Dr. No
If you are looking for a medic with ethics, stay away from Mrs. Geismann!!!! She would always try to pull the patients and prolong treatments. Her husband is an attorney - hence comes the litigation part.

I can't figure out how to get a new post started...I'm getting an error message.

So I'll just put it here.

For those of you that have previously visited my old website, St. Louis Real Estate Insights at RealEstateInfoSTL.com, I hope you will come check out my new site at www.ArchCityHomes.com.

I set up the pinging about a week ago even though the site was locked down, so that's why the links didn't work from the ping list. Everything should work fine now.

I've got a bunch of market report pages (a few still need to be uploaded and will be up within a few days). I'd love it if you will take a minute to check it out and give me your feedback. Happy Thanksgiving!

Browne doesn't need to lease the space --the city paid for it, and he's just sitting pretty on a multi-million gold mine. Things will change, though, when SteinMart goes bankrupt. I imagine they'll file sometime after the holidays...
Show Me the Money
Rock Hill City Hall (Mayor, City Administrator, All the Aldermen, and Alderwomen) reminds me of "The Beverly Hillbillies" I'm not going to name, names, but I swear a couple of them have seen, Johnny Walker and Jim Bean, a few too many times. One of them looks like they just crawled out of the bottle. They can't seem to find occupants for "Market at Mcknight", however they state they are pushing forward with phase II....another Target!!!! I hear they (Novus) are wanting to much money per square foot, to lease those empty buildings. City Hall needs to go back behind closed doors, for their sessions, and stay there!

Karen, Use the first URL that Ben posted. That's the one I use and it's always worked for my sites.
Karen Goodman
Ok, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with these. Which URL do I paste into the pinging section of my blog?

And, I cleared my cookies and now can't logon. Can you send me my login info. My website is St. Louis Real Estate Insights and I've included my email address.

Thanks for that Kathy. The pinger is back online now. Everything has finally been moved to a more permanent server which will get plenty of attention when it goes down. I can start fixing these bugs -- stllboggers cookies, twitter bot, etc -- with the knowledge that any work I do won't be lost.

I'm sure you're aware that pinging hasn't worked for the last 24 hours!
kperfetto
I can log in, but not ping. I've always pinged (pung) manually. Does the automated pinger work with Blogger, too?

Love the new commenting system, though.

i assume you are aware that twitter has stopped showing pings. i really liked that feature, and i am hoping you are trying to fix it! :)

I'm also having a pinging issue -- when I ping (and I use firefox) I have to log in, ping, go to the main page, log in again, and ping again.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks, Ben!

Stlbloggers is living on a temporary server which isn't honoring cookies for more than half an hour.

I'll kick it this weekend.

market at mcknight is mostly empty. don't imagine that's going to change anytime soon with the current economy. they should have left the neighborhood there.

I can log in, but when I ping, it tells me I have an invalid user name.

Before the outage, I never had to re-login from the computers I use most often. I don't think I entered a password for months. Now I have to login everytime before I can ping. Maybe its a different symptom of the same issue?

Ever since that "mostly dead" incident, I have to log out then log back in every time I want to ping. Is this happening to anyone else, or just me?

Stick a "http://" a the beginning of your URL.
