In selecting a ball to use, I gravitated to this particular red one, which seemed to jump onto my hand when I reached for it, and flew off my hand when I rolled it – resulting im strike after strike, whereas I'd always been bad at bowling. It was definitely somehting that would have been in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" – except that the dazzling display and high scores didn't come at the price of my soul.<br /><br />How can there be an upscale bowling alley? That's an oxymoron, like "Catholic rabbi."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-76034564731353308872014-07-08T10:00:34.293-04:002014-07-08T10:00:34.293-04:00They should have kept it, since this upscale Bowlm...They should have kept it, since this upscale Bowlmor caters to the ones who will be buying/renting in this lux condo boutiques.

Crumbs is closing down all 48 cupcake stores including the one on University and 13th, one on Park Avenue South near 18th St, they also had a gluten free Crumbs location on 8th near University. Looks like they went public promising cupcakes were not a fad, expanded way too quickly, started losing money, got delisted and then just fired everyone overnight.<br /><br />Overpriced and overcooked cupcakes are going the way of frozen yogurt and so many other foodie fads. Chipotle is still rapidly expanding but it wont be long before they hit the wall too. But I doubt Jeremiah will be writing about Crumbs...Vanishing! anytime soon.Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-31171340193818345092014-07-07T21:20:42.443-04:002014-07-07T21:20:42.443-04:00Agree.

There was One U (1 Univ. Place) the Cookery was on the corner of 8th Street, The Cedar Tavern and Bradley's, the legendary Piano Bar, were almost next to each other.
