For $4.99 we each recieved two juicy pieces of chicken, (his spicy; mine mild), yummy red beans and rice, nice biscuit and a large drink. Guilty pleasured smiles all around. Contentment in a shopping mall. The only really good fast food around. Of sad note, this huge mall was fairly deserted, and a lot of anchor stores (Nordstrom RAck) were shuttered. The economy bites.

Almost all the stores are fake outlets with more cheaply made versions of what's in the regular stores, so you aren't really getting a bargain. Plus I find the decor/design of the mall very loud and jarring. I always got a headache after shopping there. Just IMHO, of course. Thank you.

Unreal, huh? But there weren't any busses there this week. Fri May 02 17:16:48 -0700 2003 969635 0 Bashful3 1 969699 Loved the Popeye's. grew-up across the street from the City Line location. Best onion rings. Mon May 05 11:01:57 -0700 2003 969632 0 Scott 2 969712 Ok, I wasn't impressed. Went there, slow service. Ordered the spicy fingers and they pretty much tasted like some cheap hot sauce mixed with cornflakes. I was not impressed.
