Various Tidbits....

• Score! has closed in Hillside Village. It does not appear to be an indictment of our neighborhood, but part of a company wide scaleback.

• Quiznos might be closed in Hillside. They have a sign out front saying they will re-open in a few days, but the sign has been up for a while. I checked the city's restaurant scores to see if the closing was health related, but they are not shown as rated by the city. Never really cared for Quiznos. I would much rather drive an extra few miles to Jersey Mikes on Greenville.....
  

• My wife went to Toys R Us on Saturday. She bought numerous items and was asked if she wanted a "protection plan" on EACH item after if was scanned. This included a few board games and some legos. They actually asked if she wanted a "protection plan" on the board game "Operation". The board game sells for about $10. Wow.

• We had a friend shop at Kohl's at 4am on Black Friday. It was packed and the line was out the door and around the building. After they picked up the items they were waiting for they went to get into the checkout line. Kohls had an employee going down the line informing everyone of the expected wait for  checkout. Their wait? 2 plus hours. Did they wait? Not a chance.

• Myron Moats was arrested for robbery at First Baptist Church. His brother is Ryan Moats, former Bishop Lynch grad and current but injured Philadelphia Eagles running back.

• The same attackers who robbed and beat up a Lake Highlands area teacher, are suspected of robbing a woman at a local store at Mockingbird and Abrams. Be careful.

Any description on the (teachers) attackers?
What local store at Mockingbird/Abrams was the robbery at?

Or head over to Jimmy's for a decent italian sub, although Jersey Mike's is very high on my sub list too.

Police cars and TV cameras are outside Tom Thumb this afternoon as I type. I assume it is in response to the story in the DMN.

Also NY Sub on Asbury off Hillcrest - I've been going there since my SMU days, almost 30 years.

I didn't think Quizno's would last because they don't stay open late enough. I think they closed at 8:30 or 9:00. I think a lot of people go for a sub because it's too late for the restaurants.

I always liked Quizno's but thought it was over-priced. It was one of those places that I just couldn't bring myself to visit without some type of coupon. Plus, the owner/business had absolutely no local presence that I ever saw — no donations to school raffles, no free or reduced-price meals for neighborhood group meetings, etc.
