This past weekend, I was driving home from a friend's place.  It was well past midnight and for some reason I wanted a burger to sit in my belly.   There is a McDonalds right down the road from my place so, in my tired and hungry mind, it was the only reasonable option.  As I pulled into the parking lot, I soon realized that I wasn't the only person with a hankering for some junk food.  The line went around the building and almost met itself in front of those familiar golden arches which would have cemented the Idea in my mind that this "quick bite" would be more of a long wait.

I was so happy to see the construction on Gaines Street finally come to an end.  The long standing construction was taxing on the businesses in the area.  So much so that St. Mike's Pub used its sign to convey a simple yet widely shared opinion, "Fix the damn road."  It was always such a hassle to navigate around the area every time I wanted to grab food at Voodoo Dog.  Now that it's over, I can check out the merchandise at some of the shops in the area like Two Moon Trees, Phaze One Skate Shop, and the new Retrofit Records.   

National Hot Dog Day was last Saturday (July 23^rd) and I felt that the only real way to celebrate a holiday of this caliber is with a tasty dog. Instead of going to the grocery store to purchase some ball park franks to cook up yourself, a better alternative would be to pay a visit to either Dog Et All or Voodoo Dog -Tallahassee's finest hot dog destinations.
