Grrr, some cops really get on my nerves. The other day I was going to work early in the morning, walking across the opening to a small lot near me when a cop blares his siren at me to try to get me to move faster just so he can turn in to take a short cut through the lot. There is hardly any traffic...

Well Abbracci changed their name to Alta Italia Cuisina on High and are promoting the Italian dishes more than the steaks now.

The Tequila and Tacos at 790 N. High St. next to Haiku finally put their sign up to officially name their spot. They apparently have been open for a week, it's just been hard to tell without the sign. A barfly I often see at other places was there raving about it and said it was his fifth time there. The official name is Rojo...
