Unexpected developments
Jul. 24th, 2022 09:05 amYesterday I stopped by my friendly local gaming store for something and inquired whether there was any news about a timeline for restoring the play area. During the pandemic, the tables were put away and product shelves expanded into where they had been, and the store was looking at tough decisions about what to put away to make space again.
A new solution has been found, though: it's expanding into the vacant space next door, and the new improved play area will go there. So within a couple months, hopefully, I will finally be GMing some PFS games there.
On my way to the store, I passed signs announcing the grand opening of a new food cart pod. I'd noticed a fenced-in group of carts which has been in the back corner of a local parking lot for the last few weeks, and that turns out to have been a pod forming. There are three carts offering Mexican regional cuisines, one with Indian street food, one for hamburgers and cheesesteaks, one specializing in Hawaiian-style smoked meats, and one which is all drinks.
I happened to be planning to get myself a food cart lunch anyway, so on my way back I got myself a Hawaiian smoked meat platter. It was very good, even though the alleged guava pork had barely a trace of guava flavor.
So now I only have to travel a mile from home rather than two miles to reach the nearest pod. There isn't much overlap between this one and the next nearest, though, so I expect I'll continue visiting both of them.
