Month: July 2006

This Tuesday night at Eighth & Rail is a great night of music.  Joe Taylor from New York is joined by Kelly Zullo also of New York State and Atlanta’s Sonia Taylor. Sonia was that great guitar player with strong vocals that’s been playing the Atlanta music spots as Butterfly Stitch.  Martha’s Trouble would normally be on stage for this, as they host the monthly series, but I’ll be subbing for Jen, as they have… Read More

One of our favorite servers at Eighth & Rail over the years has been Sara.  I’ve featured more than one or two pictures of us on the site. She, along with Boyfriend Steven, were in The Rail before the last U-Haul trip back to Atlanta.  She had this picture for me, so I thought I post it. I’m not sure why I look so dopy, but I always do, huh? The band Y-O-U (pronouce the… Read More

Jim Sikes dropped me a note: This weekend’s chef feature at Jimmy’s is Stuffed Flounder with Lemon Praline Cream. We also have fresh Hurricanes and Sazeracs from the bar. Friday Morning , The Chamber is having a Ribbon Cutting for Shindigs, in The Village near Outback.  You can’t miss it from Pepperell Parkway. That is at 10AM. Looks to have a covered deck!  Koplon’s has some music outside too.  I don’t remember who it is, but did… Read More

Someone from Macon County was the winner.  I think they really didn’t need a new truck!

I knew that when the NBC folks bought the Sci Fi Channel, there would be changes.  But, what a sell out…

You know what the sky looks like before that really bad storm?  That’s what we had after 7PM in Opelika on Monday Night.  But then, just rain, as far as I know.  So, where’s the picture? I don’t see trees, so it must be the Baptist Church! And the soldier on the Monument?  Take it away Redman!! Danny Dennis at work saw this post and sent along this link to some pretty cool cloud pictures… Read More

Why, yes it was!   A Friday afternoon gathering for loyal Fat Tire folks on the/a porch.  It’s time for someone to make another run to MO! Very Nice! The weekend was spent watching “The Open Championship”, that Tiger Woods took for a two in a row win on Sunday.  The Open Championship is called the British Open by some!  But Redman can check in on that with details! Jenny & Scott were off to… Read More
