Is it as simple as 'artists'?  Take some time and think what it takes to keep the 'starving artist' in your community.   It doesn't take much for the people that made the 'community' to find somewhere else to go.

Anyway,   So i finally got to go to the Ritual Tavern (aka The Ritual) last night!  awesome!  Food was top notch (though it seemed that one of the chefs was a little salt heavy that night) Onion rings were perfect.  Service was great.   I had the portabella sandwich with fries, Linda had the meatloaf special.  A++  will go back!

I waited all year to go to the Toyland Parade and December Nights..lo and behold i got sick.   i guess there's always next year.
