I returned in Aug. 2021 while driving back across country after dropping my kid off at college. They were empty because of Covid, but I had a great gyro sangwich. Would eat here any time in while Columbia, SC. It was fun to return and I wish them well as things reopen. I want to hit that steam table of lamb shanks with meat falling off the bone.

Great Southern BBQ Joint. Easy parking. Found it in Aug. 2021 on my phone while driving back to Cali from ATL. The whole restaurant looked up at me when I walked in after ordering at the window. No masks in sight (Alabama) and Delta was peaking so I sat outside at one of the picnic tables. But the ladies in the kitchen were a hoot and were super friendly. Unfortunately the birthday card I sent my niece from the Jasper Post Office never made it...

I had a great experience today with Ben and his assistant, forgot his name, sorry... Everyone looks alike wearing masks... Anyway, the duo found the ripe and rank, seriously dead rat but quick, and took away all the nasty, nested in, pooped in insulation he had called home in better times. Sorry Mr. Rat, we don't make ventilators in your size. So back to the gory details: Ben, et al. disinfected the death zone with a bleach solution and they vacuumed up all the gnarly debris. It's now almost 10pm and the smell is 99 and 44/100ths gone, give or take a whiff. Sayonara, Rattus Norvegicus, or whatever you answer to. Bravo ACAT!

I hate to trash something that had so much effort behind it, but the script wouldn't even make a competent movie. The moon landing is as epic, fascinating and awe inspiring a story as there is, but this show dragged it into dullsville. Admittedly I saw the 2nd night preview, but even if the cast loosens up and finds natural performances, the writing doesn't give them fully formed characters. The visual effects are effective, but without a compelling story, the show feels more like it should be a 30-40 minute immersive experience at the Air and Space museum with elementary school kids as the target audience. I applauded the actors efforts, because they did work hard to pull it off. But I don't know how this production will get away with charging $215 for premium tickets with unknown actors and uncomfortable seats that are too high for a 5'10" man to rest his feet comfortably on the floor. How much is Disneyland? $140? If I had spent the insane sum of $860 for the 4 of us I would be absolutely furious. Even the 50 bucks a head I spent felt steep.
