Oh I know the tobacco bowl. I used to stop there in the ped mall when I still smoked. I went to school there briefly before deciding I didn't have enough interest in the major to keep wasting time there. And yes, the winters are rough. A couple years ago a tornado even went through the middle of downtown. It sucked up random buildings and left others unscathed. The weirdest was a Happy Joes pizza tucked in the middle of several tall buildings. Pizza place gone, others untouched. It was like god was punishing shitty italian joints.

And yet it exists and propagates. I call it the Olive Garden Conundrum.
