So, I sat down the other day and made a list of potential articles for this blog, and came to the conclusion that it needed a disclaimer. Please note the new disclaimer at the top of the page just under the title.
On a another note, this list is pretty long, and I think I've got some pretty funny stuff to stick up here! So, it should keep you entertained for a while.

The Park & Eat
What better way to start the list than this iconic eatery? After all, this is my list, and restaurants do have a special place in my heart (or stomach... not sure). And of all the restaurants in Jackson, I think this one takes the cake. I mean, where else could you find a diner that serves hamburgers, Philly cheese steak, eggrolls, white beans and cornbread, Greek gyros, and Won-ton soup all on the same menu? Talk about some interesting lunch combinations! Not to mention, this restaurant is home to my favorite Asian businesswoman in Jackson. If you have ever eaten there, you know just who I'm talking about.
In all reality, this local diner is a great place to eat, and for roughly the same cost as fast food. Everything I have had there is worth eating, especially the burgers. The Super Double Bacon Cheeseburger combo, while it will take a year off of your life expectancy, is really worth the risk. Oh, and they serve the crinkle-cut fries too (melted cheese optional), an added bonus.
Head south down the 45 bypass from north Jackson and hang a left on Hollywood. The Park & Eat is within eyeshot of the bypass. If you've never eaten there, try it this week. You'll thank me. Oh, and tell the little Asian lady I said hello. She has no idea what my name is, but tell her anyway!

A Walk Down Memory Lane
Until a couple of months ago, I called Tennessee home. I was born and raised there and had the wonderful experience of growing up in an area that most people would say was lacking in the entertainment department. However, in my 27 years of experience with Tennessee, I would beg to differ. Sure, Tennessee is mostly farmland with a couple of poorly laid out towns thrown in for good measure, but that just means you have to get creative. If you look hard enough, there are all kinds of ways to occupy yourself. Tennessee is really a fun place, and I intend on using this blog as a means of recounting all of the "adventures" we had while I was there.
I spent the last 10 years in Jackson, TN and plan on focusing my attention there. Therefore, most of the following posts will concern particularly West Tennessee, with the occasional look at things outside of this region. My goal is to look at everything from those hidden hole-in-the-wall restaurants, to things to keep you occupied when there is nothing on at the movies. So, keep an eye out on this blog, and you might just find something interesting to do.
