Now Lex just needs a few more Mexican/Taco joints imo.
You simpletons don’t understand the subtle complexities and multiple subcultures represented by the “Mexington” food scene. Some restaurants feature meat/beans/cheese, but others are totally different and feature beans/meat/cheese. Please educate yourselves.
Wines on Vine was great. Kinda miss that place.

Still think about it every time I drive by (which is often). One of my and C’s favorite date spots.
Cricket has access to the most random information.
Group pictures of UK freshmen from various years, liquor licenses for Lexington Mexican joints…

There isn’t a single business on Versailles Road that doesn’t have a taco stand in the parking lot - even the Mexican restaurants have them.
Still had high school bleachers in the endzones during my undergrad years. Its not The Big House but that joint has changed 180 in the last 30 yrs.
Was 'Old Vine' for several years after that, cool little spot w/ a great happy hour.
Between the construction and move in... the hood has been ridiculous. Lex is always a mess but last 2 weeks has been gridlock.
I'd vote for any mayor that would:
1. Eliminate stop lights on NC and MOW.
2. Complete the MOW circle
3. Connect BGP and 64/75.

Was in Marco Island last week and the mex restaurant we ate at did not give complimentary chips and salsa.
FOH
I’m never gonna complain “oh no there are too many taco/Mexican options”.
Let me take you to the torta place that sends out wait staff in luchadore masks and giant sparklers for a birthday and I’ll show you a few things.

Fla and CT have crappy Mexican restaurants and most don’t give free chips and salsa. Will hit up Mexican 2-3x next wk in KY.
I ate a burrito made of slow roasted beef tongue today, but there were no chips and salsa.
Using my free Draft King $25 bet to win $142.50 (thanks to Austin Wells) was nice. Now, to turn that into $42k on that 30,000 odd for Justin Thomas to win the Tour Championship or nah? He don’t have a chance but it would be $42k.
Brady, this quote hit where I needed it today. “Success is what you think of yourself when no one else is looking.” I’ve busted my balls trying to do my best to take care of my dying mother and my dad who’s dying on the inside watching it while a sibling is just chasing the dollar and showing up maybe once a month at best when they live 5 minutes away. It’s been fkn hard, but that was a much needed statement. Can’t wait to bring my son back down there to the store, I will try to get there when you’re there this time.
Randy Travis has been all I’ve listened to for 3 days.

I love an occasional good ole fatty American tex Mex feast & sugar Margs extravaganza as much As anyone, but No free chips/salsa is as good of a sign as you could ever want if seeking a proper Mexican treat.
Extra bonus if zero English audible or visible, with a side sauce feeling of “we accept your business, but are you in the wrong place, gringo?”
That’s the spot. And if “they” are all eating soup for lunch, Mid summer, triple bonus jackpot .

I actually think inauthentic Mexican is the best. Much better than the real Mexican ******** and a F-ton better than trendy gourmet Mexican.
Process is simple.
Show up at la restaurante.
Eat free chips and salsa.
Actually say “sirbayza” when ordering your beer.
Say “por favor” a lot.
Eat your food.
Pay at the counter. Toss in a “muy bien.”
And go home.
Seriously, wtf is BBdK even talking about. Yeah let’s just accept their racism, take their slurs and eat their ****** food when Rio Grande always delivers. With class.

I thought he gave a (characteristically) melodramatic
"goodbye, cruel CatPaw, you won't have ol' rogue to kick around anymore"
farewell post, did he not?
All good, but I'd settle for hooking up Citation and MOW at this point.
A lot of UK healthcare facilities going up
They're building new towers.- new parking garage - and eventually moving Good Samaritan Hospital
They also acquired King's Daughters Hospital in Ashland and something or other in Moorehead
think they already removed parts of the Ag College too make room & I park at the orange lot every day for work -
I didn't know they still used leaches in medicine - sure as hell do though
A massive cancer center is going in on corner where university inn was.Tons of construction around campus. Most of it near the orange lot is on the corner of Limestone/Cooper. They've taken up part of the orange lot for parking and material staging though.
Across the street at Limestone/Waller is a massive project being done by UK Healthcare. They tore down the main building thar was the University Inn and most of the State St neighborhood. Students are going to need a new place to burn couches after a big win.
Both views are from my truck, sitting on Waller to cross Limestone.
Mexican randos…..
* be very wary of a restaurant that brings your food out in like 2-3 minutes. You didn’t cook that, so don’t even pretend.
* understaffed? On a wait? Sorry, that section is closed? Not at a Mexican restaurant. They’ll throw up a table out back by the dumpster and have margs and chips in hand in 30 seconds if they have to, but they are NOT slow rolling business. That’s exclusively an American concept.
* there is no hangover like a cheap marg hangover. Ugh.
* Green > Red
* if there’s a tv on and it’s NOT showing futbol (or Telemundo) —> leave.
* Jalepenos was always the PTI (pti) family go to. Was for decades. And not the new flashy upscale version on Broadway, but the “real” one on New Circle. RIP.

For as great as their food is, Mexican music is the worst thing in the world. I'd rather listen to Gilbert Gottfried read a compendium of rogue posts than listen to accordians.
There isn’t a normal Mexican place in America that cooks its ground beef, beans or rice used in burritos or tacos in a made to order fashion.
You ever been to Tortilleria Y Taqueria Ramirez?
Yes, had lunch with him a few weeks ago. He got into fire academy school and got a job bartending at a gay pool bar. Said all your wives are butthoe.
