I think it should be outlawed...
to air commercials for restaurants that aren't within a reasonable drive from my house. Red Robin has been showing this absolutely delicious looking burger commercial all day and the nearest one to my house is two hours away. How annoying. Also, Sonic, the closest one is an hour away and it tortures me with it's delicious mixed drink combination, namely the cherry limeade which I need but won't be able to have for a looong time. Boooo!!
/vent.
Re: I think it should be outlawed...
I second this. The nearest Sonic to me is in DELAWARE.
ETA: That is like 3 hours away without traffic. And they air their commercials all the dang time.
We have a Red Robin near the fabric store though, but I haven't been in years.
Also, we need an Elephant Bar in our area. I'm seriously considering driving to one when I'm in CA next week.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Thats how I feel about Joes Crab Shack. The closest one is Pittsburgh which is four ish hours away.
ETA: i think there might be one somewhere in maryland that is actually closer than pittsburgh.
I'd really like to try Joes Crab Shack but the closest one to me is probably Pittsburgh or the one in Maryland too lol.
You know I lived 10 mins from a Crab Shack and never went. I always wanted but just never got there. It's in the Princeton, NJ area...
Not saying you could jump in the car right now and ride right over but is that closer than Pitt and Maryland??

Oh and I second the Sonic commercials. The closest one to us is in West Philadelphia and never go to that one unless I feel really brave. The only time I'll go to a Sonic is when we are coming back from visiting Dan's parents. There's one off of 95 that's easy to get to and there's no risk of getting hi-jacked or murdered.

This is how I feel about Arby's and Cici's... granted Arby's is out in the western part of the state, but still!
Sonic used to be an issue, and how we have 2

Cici's Pizza is gross. Mazzio's FTW!
I had Arby's for dinner on Monday.
I wish they wouldn't show commercials for Macaroni Grill. I think the closest one is in Little Rock (4 hours away).
Also, I really wish we had Whole Foods and/or Trader Joes.
Meh, you really aren't missing much. I only go to Whole Foods for its sushi, and Trader Joe's for their wine...

I drive to Missouri for my liquor. I often wonder if Benton County realizes how much revenue is going to McDonald County, MO that could stay in Benton County if they just lifted the dry county law.
The concept of a dry county is still so foreign to me... how in the gods' names did that ever get passed?!

The only thing we're still feeling from the whole prohibition this is that certain wineries, etc won't ship to Massachusetts, and just that is enough to piss me off. I couldn't imagine having to cross state lines!

No but I don't eat seafood! Lol but I'd still GTG!!!
:Blog:
Seriously! The closest place to get liquor and beer for me is 3 mins away and I'd DIE if it were any farther!
:Blog:
Lol, okay well I won't make you eat seafood! We'll have to plan a GTG at a different place sometime after you're all settled into a routine with your LO.
