Sorry - not to upset anyone, but there is a real possibility of getting killed on Bailey Avenue. I could not send anyone to Bailey Avenue.

I agree. I only go during daylight hours, park where I can't get boxed in, and then I take it to go.
Tips and links with fries, sauce on the side.

For Asian food I'd also add Mr. Chen's.

It was sort of a joke, MD.

Fools abound.
