Work in progress

I’m having trouble with my metaphors here. I want to say that walking into a restaurant for the first time is a blind date. But if you had as bad a first date as we did on our initial outing at the Black Pearl, it would likely have been your last. So maybe the better imagery here is about second chances—things can get better.

What's happening in local stores and eateries, and restaurant reviews.
