Hi Dale,

 JW> That's putting it mildly! I had to look that up. What a tacky, nasty
 JW> place it is! I would avoid it like the plague.

 RH> It's a good place to stop if you need a rest room and can't make it
 RH> for about 4 more miles (southbound), 3 miles (northbound). Other than
 RH> that, nothing really to reccommend it. I did notice, on our last trip
 RH> south (to Fayetteville), that it seemed like the number of billboards
 RH> for it along I-95 seemed to be fewer.

 DS> We used to travel that route before I-95 came to be.  The billboards
 DS> were quite frequent, both to the south and to the north.  It was never
 DS> a good place for a motel stop and so we usually drove right through

Still isn't a good place for a motel stop unless you absolutly have to.
There really isn't too much right near SOTB, would probably have to go
into the nearby towns and pay an arm & a leg for mediocre accomodations.

 DS> I-95 sort of isolated them.  We did stop there once to see what the
 DS> fuss was all about.  Much ado about nothing, IMO.

Exactly!


 DS> The first time we had our restaurant's General Tso chicken, it was
 DS> quite mild.  Hence we made up the sauce below to wake it up.  Since
 DS> then, the restaurant has changed their recipe so that our sauce is no
 DS> longer needed.

 DS>       Title: Sauce for fireside's General Tso
 DS>  Categories: Sauce, Chinese
 DS>       Yield: 3 Ounce

Maybe enough appreciators of hotter dishes have moved into the facility
and asked that some meals be kicked up a bit that the kitchen is finally
getting the word and doing so? After all, as American tastes have
shifted hotter over the past couple of generations, more and more people
will want hotter food as the new LCD. (G)
