Loulou’s chandelier

Yup. I’m in a Loulou phase. I totally underestimated this place.

Tonight they have an extended prix fixe, a delightful waitress and great dinner/mood music. Just what I needed to unwind from my hectic day. It’s also off the beaten path and cozy.

I am so happy I followed @chfbrian‘s recommendation and tried the scallop crepe.

Oh and did I mention their address is a quaint 222 Dekalb?

A ban is not a compromise! #Soccer #FortGreenePark

The soccer saga continues.

The latest is here:

My position is best summarized by the many comments I’ve made here:

If you think soccer should stay in the park, please let Tish James and the Comish know that a ban is not a compromise. No soccer at all means a few stakeholders in the Park get their way at the expense of others.

The best outcome is a win-win outcome and those who want to play soccer should get to do that some of the time.

THE PARK IS OUR COMMUNAL BACKYARD.
