The Epi bread at Best Buns is fantastic. I have no idea how they get it into that shape. Perhaps it is a mold? The tomato basil mozzarella sandwich is really good too. Double yuck on the rat fur. I think I will stick with German Gourmet.

Well, your definition is wrong. Trader Joe’s NEW location in Clarendon has kicked ass, and is the best NEW thing in Clarendon. And no, we can’t walk to the Fall’s Church locations.

Yuck! All the more reason to go to Best Buns!

CW: As I said, with only one Animal Control Officer on duty at a time it is impossible for that ONE person to patrol all 100 something parks and plots of land in our 30 square mile county at all times. Maybe you should complain about the department being short staffed instead of accusing that one person of not doing his job.

could you elaborate on what you mean by not enforcing laws? Also how do they encourage the public to approach animals?

Arlington Cat you are the one misinforming the public. Get informed on the current AWLA policies and procedures before you keep running your mouth.

I feel ya. But this is not a State or Federal run restaurant, like a speed limit.

Nanny state – we can dump the screaming kids on them!

I guess I am just in favor of individual freedoms. That is my policy perspective. I would use punishment for negative actions as a deterrent. An example is that I would be in favor of much higher speed limits, but very strong punishment for anyone who causes an accident by driving negligently. You seem to be in favor of, dare i say it, a “nanny state” (this from a lifelong Democrat). Now, where can I smoke in a bar around here?! Kidding, kidding.

It’s the policy you have an issue with – and your stance is to allow the problem to occur and have to handle a drunk person, while risking other patrons’ pleasure.
I’m simply drawing a comparison to how ridiculous you sound that it’s wrong to have a policy to prevent a problem and would rather solve a problem later….

This is getting weird so I will step out now. I don’t think drinking 4 beers is quite the same as shooting at police, but whatever floats your boats.

And no, I don’t think that people who hate animals should run anything. I do think that leash laws should be enforced. Currently, they are not in many cases.
