Tin Lizzy’s Cantina has three locations in the great city of Atlanta and we made a visit to the Buckhead location.  While it was not difficult to find it was a little tough to park.  We visited on a Wednesday evening and it was busy.  We pulled into their small lot and were immediately directed by a parking attendant to park far back on the right.  As I parked I could see several signs in the area, some of which advertised that it was okay to park there for Tin Lizzy’s and others saying don’t you dare park here for Tin Lizzy’s.  I found it amusing and went inside as my stomach was very angry with me. The Duo We were greeted by a big smile from the hostess who could only be described as “hot” and were quickly seated.  That is when our server, Sarah, came over to greet us.  Remember how I described the hostess?  Same goes for Sarah.  Being very unfamiliar with the menu, Sarah was able to make several suggestions. As with most Mexican cantinas we started with some chips

Nestled at the bottom of the Incline Railway in the St Elmo district of Chattanooga is Blacksmith’s Bistro and Bar, a charming and eclectic place for a good meal.  You will not be overwhelmed when you walk in the door, but rather pleased by the Southern hospitality and unique look of the place.  The menu itself was written on a big chalkboard and kudos must be given to whomever is given that task each day.  We had just taken a trip on the Incline Railway and desired lunch before heading on to Rock City and Ruby Falls.  Being from out of the area, Lady Gianna and I decided we needed something with a local flair.  Blacksmith’s was right across the street and easily fit the bill.  I have to say it does not look like much on the outside and the sight of a big chicken on their sign did not instill much confidence, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I do not watch a lot of programs on NBC any more.  In fact I only watch Chuck.  That’s it!  What was once must see TV is now an entire network of must avoid TV.  So knowing that NBC does not really cater to my tastes I was not looking particularly forward to seeing their offerings for fall and beyond.  However, I went in with an open mind.  Let’s take a look: The Playboy Club The Playboy Club:   Here we go again.  Yet another show based on the successful Mad Men mold.  Another drama based in the 60’s?  We already have Pan Am over on ABC copying the concept and now we have this.  Since this is going to be on network TV it will be fairly tame which makes me wonder why such ignorant groups as Morality in Media are bitching about it.  Frankly a show like this belongs on cable with a lot of nudity, but we will not get that.  What we will get is the story of some hot women working at a Playboy Club in Chicago in the 60’s.  Yawn.  Chances of me watching?  Less than 5% Up
