I spent 4 years as a Hoosier going to school Bloomington from 1993-1997. I hear it's really different now. Although i still miss a few of the campus delivery places. Best cheese sticks! And there was a place that would deliver ice cream sundaes.

Let's see... in Lexington, KY, we've got Malone's, which is a really good steakhouse. If you want good "Southern" food (like fried green tomatoes)...Ramsey's is the place. Lexington is hosting the World Equestrian Games this year, so come out and visit.

Southern Indiana is SCARY. I was in Corydon/New Albany recently.... let's just say they aren't really suburbs of Louisville.

Ahh, Lexington. I used to love to go to Jozo's- the one on Man O' War, not the dumpy one by UK. I heard they went out of business a few years back- is this true?

There used to be a club down there, called Two Keys??? I used to go down there and do sound for a band.

Hey!!! I'm an IU alum, class of '92! BA in psych.
Bloomington has changed some. But I don't really think for the worse. The biggest thing is all the HIGH DOLLAR apartments, that they've built downtown. There are a few(what I'd call for here) high rise apt buildings. Rent is like $1500.....that's alot for here, I think.
Ever go to the Bluebird? I do sound there, and was doing it also, during your tenure at IU.

It's still going. Supposedly Billy Gillespie tried to pick up coeds there.

Nope- just spent a fair amount of time in the Lexington/Richmond corridor in the mid-late 90's.

I did some checking- it looks like some of the same people who were involved in Jozo's have a new mini-chain (two locations) - http://www.gumboyayaky.com/ Looks delicious!

I minored in Psych so I spent some time in that crazy mazelike Psych building. Wow...high rises in downtown. I remember when they built a 3 or 4 story hotel and that seemed like a lot. I remember a little bit about downtown. I can't remember exactly, but down Kirkwood was it? 1500 sounds like a lot for Indiana for rent. Now where I currently live....

Don't think I ever went ot the Bluebird. If I did, it was once or twice. Nicks, Kilroy's...your basic college hangouts were where i ended up. And a lot of house parties for the perpetual broke college student. I worked at Mr D's supermarket one year. I used to hate telling people that they couldn't buy wine on Sundays. I still think that is strange, but hey, I'm from a state where it's illegal to pump your own gas.

I've recently reconnected with my best friend from school who lives just north of Indy so hopefully I'll make it out there this spring and I can see B-town for myself.

Is Dagwoods still there? Can't remember what else was unique to that area that I would frequent to eat.

Speaking of southern Indiana, what town is John Mellencamp from?

LOL.

i seriously just guffawed. i've actually done that twice now. once in PA and once in NY. also, i hate pennsylvania. i was taking i-90 from buffalo to cleveland and got pulled over by a state trooper for driving in the left lane too long. i remember seeing signs on i-76 in PA that state that the left lane is for passing only, but along the mere 45 miles of i-90 that go through PA, there is no signage, east- or westbound. trust, i've checked.

this was december of 08. can you tell i'm bitter?

on the memo line of the check, i wrote "merry f*cking christmas."

that'll learn 'em.

Best overall menu - excellent steaks, fish and gumbo - Eastside Bar and Grill Northampton, MA

Great fish - New England Style: Snow's Restaurant Ware, MA

Honorable mention: the Monkey Bar/Bistro - Amherst MA

Pub Faire: Amherst Brewing Company - excellent brews too.

And if in New England - try those little lobster/fish stands along the coast - the are the best.
