Kanpai- New Sushi in Palo Alto
The owner of Menlo Park's Naomi Sushi just opened Kanpai in the former Jidai-ya location in downdown Palo Alto. October 2nd was the official opening day. While it's hard to judge a restaurant right when it opens because they are so eager to please, Kanpai seems to be joining the ranks of Sushi Tomi and Kaygetsu for high quality sushi in the area. I like it better than Sushi-ya which is about two blocks away. The non sushi was also great.
We had:
2 bowls miso shiru
2 very large cups of mild and sweet sake
4 pieces ikura
4 pieces uni
2 pieces saba
1 piece toro
broiled miso marinated sea bass
mixed tempura
The total was around $80- not cheap but we had some of the more expensive sushi. I'm sorry I can't break it down more, I don't remember the individual prices or the name of the sake.
The sushi was wonderfully sweet and fresh. Ikura was totally different than the super salty, gummy type I find everywhere else. This was much less dyed, very translucent, firm, smaller eggs. Maybe it was a different type of roe? Anyway, it was fantastic. Uni was sweet and held its shape. Saba and toro were both super fresh, very high quality, melting texture.
The amount of rice in each nigiri is much smaller than than what I normally see. We thought it was perfect with the quality of the fish. Wasabi was freshly grated.
My broiled sea bass was not as warm as it should have been since I think they were waiting to bring it out with the tempura. But the balance of flavors was sweet and mild. The tangy green dressing (they called it jalapeno dressing but it really wasn't very spicy) around it cut the oily fish nicely. The tempura was crisp and not oily, and the shrimp were extremely plump.
The remodeling is a very large step up from Jidai-ya. Lovely lighting and relaxing music. The owner, who went through 1 1/2 bottles of sake while we were there was jovial and very proud of the new restaurant. He told us the counters, tables and various other parts were imported from Japan. It's hard to predict if the quality will stay this high when a restaurant is this new, but I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!
Menu had an intro paragraph touting the omakase they offer so I'll return soon to try it out.
330 Lytton Avenue
Thanks for this report! Relatively few places serve freshly grated wasabi (and even fewer will do it automatically, on just the first visit), so just the fact that Kanpai does makes them immediately more interesting.
I had a question about the ikura, since you mentioned their ikura wasn't super salty. A few of the better sushi places around the bay will do their own marination for the ikura, with shoyu and sake, that I've always loved in comparison to the standard stock salty stuff. Ino Sushi, in Japantown, does a fantastic version. Since you mention the ikura in particular, I was wondering if Kanpai does something similar to this?
Hi shortexact. I don't know why the ikura is so different but I don't think that Kanpai does their own marination. Since the actual size, the color, everything, was so different, I'm actually convinced it was roe from a different type of salmon, or maybe not even from salmon (so perhaps it's not actually ikura). Next time I go, I'll find out more.
My understanding is that this restaurant is a 2nd venture by the owner of Naomi Sushi in Menlo Park, whose offerings rank pretty low on my list (in terms of quality/price ratio which is not very good). Your review has me intrigued though, especially if you are ranking them between Tomi and Kaygetsu. If this place doesn't share the same fish sources as Naomi I might pop in one of these days. Perhaps the Sushi Monster will review this before I will :-)
Marinated ikura, or full name ikura no shoyu zuke, is darker orange color (closing in on a red hue) than their regular salted counterpart. A good marination would have a fine balance between soy and sake, but some prefer a heavier sake flavor. Ino Sushi does do a nice version, but the one that got me into it is Sushi Sam's in San Mateo (he calls is special ikura for short).
re: shortexact
It has been a while since I last went to both places, and Ino-san does not have the marinated ikura all the time, whereas in the past 8 years I've been going to Sam's out of so many visits I'd say less than 8 visits he was out of the marinated ikura (he usually keeps a tub in the mini fridge).
Kitsho in Cupertino had this offering too a few times which was pretty good.
I think Sam's version has heavier flavors in both soy sauce and sake (perhaps longer marination time?), so heavy that the best way to enjoy them is sphere by sphere. :-) Honestly his version was the first time I had it, so I use them as a standard. Perhaps keeping them in the fridge for a while will do that to the flavor. Maybe heavy flavor is not for everyone, but I certainly like it. Apparently doing this yourself at home is not difficult, just getting the raw eggs in sujiko form is way cheaper, then cleaning it, then marinating it yourself to whatever desired levels (mirin, sake, soy sauce).
Higuma's version (Redwood City) is not bad, and the owner says it is a hometown receipe (Hokkaido), though their marination is too light for me.
Sushiya apparently had this the 2nd to last time I went.
re: K K
Thanks for the assessment of Sam's, I'll make sure to try that whenever I can get there. You're right that Inoue-san doesn't always keep the good ikura around, but sometimes I think it might just depend on how he feels at that particular moment :)
Sebo in Hayes Valley has recently been carrying a shoyu ikura, but when I had it, the marination was a bit on the light side.
A quick footnote regarding marinated ikura: Yuzu in San Mateo would be my top pick for ikura no shoyu zuke, followed by Hotaru in San Mateo, with SushiYa in Palo Alto and Higuma in Redwood City neck and neck for third. (Actually, you're never going to get a bad meal at any of those places.) As for Sam's, I found a lot to love about the place, despite the price. But I have never had his "special" ikura.
I personally prefer a marination that's heavy on the sake side. If you can hold a Zippo lighter in front of your breath and blow a fireball after eating two nigiri pieces, that's a good sign... (heh...)
When I went by Kampai last week (gotta double-check that spelling -- is it Kanpai or Kampai?) they said they were shooting for an opening this week. I'm planning to get there Thursday for lunch. My initial impression, having heard about this from the Naomi guys for the last six months, was this place was to have a more fusion-oriented, upscale focus than their Menlo Park sushiya. Since I couldn't care less about fusion or upscale, I may need to reign in my expectations. KK and I differ sharply on our opinions of Naomi.
re: Sushi Monster
There is a Kampai House in Sunnyvale. (It joined the dining miles program, which often is not a good sign. ;-)
Picturesque creations, but please don't put watermelon anywhere near my maguro!
re: Jefferson
The one in Sunnyvale has no relation to the Palo Alto place. The Sunnyvale restaurant is supposedly a fusion style upscale hip place, owned by a Taiwanese guy. I'm told their kitchen chef was hired from Japan, and the sushi chef I talked to was from Hong Kong. Basically these two are completely different restaurants, though I haven't been to the PA one and might not for a bit until I am swayed :-)
I hadn't like Naomi before, but I might need to check it out again now. The traditional nigiri at Kanpai is not fusion in any sense but the atmosphere is a bit more upscale.
This ikura was not heavily marinated. The egg sacs were extremely firm. I had the impression that it was more fresh. I haven't found this to be the case with at least Sushi-ya. I like Sushi-ya for a neighborhood joint, but I think their ikura might be borderline going off sometimes. The egg sacs are saggy and broken and there's all that 'mucus' for lack of a better word. Additionally, the construction at Sushi-ya is sometimes careless. I've gotten oddly cut pieces of fish and pieces that just fall apart completely when I try to flip it over to dip.
I'll have to see if Sushi-ya has some in house marinated next time I go.
I like Sushi Tomi, but the quality varies. Kaygetsu is always extremely good, but the prices are heavy. Kanpai now ranks in the top for me, though I can't say that it's in between Kaygetsu or Sushi Tomi.
330 Lytton Ave.
Palo Alto
This latest entry in the already crowded Menlo Park/Palo Alto area is an up-market sister to one of my old favorites, Naomi. While the three lead itamaes from Naomi will now be splitting their time between the two shops, there is little if anything that would tip you off that the two are related.
First and foremost, this 48-seat operation is the most attractive sushiya on the Peninsula, period. The room, done up with a very subdued palate of greens and browns, appears quite deliberately designed as a clone of the prototypical big-city , white-tablecloth sushi restaurant, right down to the gorgeous exotic woods, the flashy back-bar and the artful pin-spots suspended over the 15-seat bar. The message is pretty obvious: This is not our beloved-but-homey neighborhood sushi joint.
On the Thursday I dropped in, Kanpai had been running less than a week. While the staff was obviously still finding its way around the new space, service didn't suffer for it. For someone who came out of Nobu (New York's legendary temple of sushi) Kaneko-san is an amazingly unaffected, easygoing cat. If there's a single common thread between Naomi and the new operation, it's the tone of easy conviviality and relaxation set by the men behind the bar. The overall effect is elegance without the overstarched stiffness. (We'll see how well this holds up on a jammed Friday night when the tobiko's really flying fast and furious ...)
As for the fish, I found decent variety, but not the impressive range of non-standard items Naomi usually stocks. The only white-board special was the lunch package – six pieces of nigiri and a California roll priced at a very attractive $7. As with Naomi, the melt-in-your-mouth toro here is a steal at $4 apiece. The masu (ocean trout) was delightful, very much like smoked BC sockeye. (They also have smoked salmon nigiri on the regular menu). While the standard hamachi was just OK, the fatty belly cut was silky and delicious. The other two standouts: The sweet hotate (scallop), torch braised with Japanese sea salt, and the marinated ikura. This was a marination that relied more on soy than sake. The result was a smoky, nutty flavor not unlike tawny port. On the downside, both the aji (horse mackerel) and Spanish mackerel were just ho-hum. And the overly dry sushi rice needs some fine-tuning.
Bottom line: Kanpai is both a beautiful room, and a very *comfortable* space to eat quality sushi. Service -- behind and in front of the bar --is very good. For now, I'm slotting this at No. 11, just above Fuki Sushi and below Hotaru – with price as the deciding factor. Nine and a half nigiri plates for $65.70 (including 20 percent tip) works out to $7.30 per plate. And that's *way* out of line in the intensely competitive Menlo Park/Palo Alto area. You can get this high quality nearby at Koma, Akasaka and SushiYa for a much more reasonable price. The Naomi boys may have a monthly overhead on this space to rival the national budget of a small Third World nation. But I'm not going to subsidize their rent. While it'd certainly be an impressive date-night pick, it's not going to be a regular lunch stop for Sushi Monster.
Sushi Monster
I dropped into Kanpai Thursday evening and it was quite busy. I sat at a small table and had the sashimi dinner (about $24). The miso soup was nothing special, but in place of the typical iceberg lettuce salad I was served the appetizer du jour, a long plate with three different little salads. One contained crunchy tako (octopus) and seaweeds in a mysterious green dressing; another consisted of couple thin slices of salmon wrapped around watercress; and the third, unfortunately, I forget, but I finished that one first so it probably was good.
The sashimi was described on the menu as something like "9 pieces," but in fact there were many more (if somewhat small) pieces. For the most part it was fresh and tasty, but I was somewhat puzzled by the presentation of the saba (mackerel): it was deeply scored at 2mm intervals and broke apart when lifted. The scoring was more successful with the ika (squid).
Overall, a nice change of pace.
As I was waiting (and waiting) for the check, the two sushi novices next to me were discussing whether maki or nigiri was the one that had a wrapping on the outside. This reminded me of the unusual menu layout, which perhaps could use some work to make it more accessible.

6 Media Companies Tell You Most Everything You Know
CREDIT: FrugalDad
Feel like you are getting the same news in most papers and on most channels and Web sites? You may well be. Data compiled by an unlikely source, the Frugal Dad, shows 90 percent of the U.S. media in the hands of just six companies. In 1983, it was 50 companies.
The six media giants are GE, News Corp., Disney, Viacom, Time Warner and CBS.
Disney, for example, owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar and Miramax. Viacom owns MTV, Nick JR and Paramount Pictures. (Note: TechNewsDaily has not independently verified the dozens of statistics in the report.)
The big six dominate online, as well. Time Warner websites such as CNN, Time and the Huffington Post get 187 million visitors per month — double the amount of Digg, Tumblr and Reddit combined.

Disney's Art of Animation Resort
Price level: Value
Published: October 23, 2014
Opened in 2012, Disney's Art of Animation Resort offers 1,120 family suites and 840 rooms across four areas, each themed to a popular Disney animated movie: Finding Nemo, Cars, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid.Tweet
I love Art of Animation and the shops and dining is right together to each other and The Cars Theme is awesome. Our Family are going to stay in the Disney's Art of Animation on September 2014!
Art of Animation is the best value resort on-property, hands down. All of the room sections are themed brilliantly, and the Little Mermaid rooms look great. Not over the top or incredibly detailed theming, but much better than the other values. I can't say anything about any of the suites because I haven't stayed in one, but they look a lot nicer than the standard rooms. The food court has great food (get the stuff from the Tandoori oven) and the gift shop is nice as well. I really like all of the concept art at the check-in area. For all it is, I say if you can only afford a value resort or off-property resort (never stay off-property at WDW), this is the one to pick. It's even better than the moderate hotels I've stayed at (which just amounts to the unnecessarily large and hard to navigate Caribbean Beach). However, if you can afford to stay at one of the resorts on the monorail or an Epcot area deluxe resort, stay there. The locations are a lot better.
This Resort gives you the most bang for your buck hands down. My Family and I stayed in the Art of Animation Resort, Finding Nemo suites of Mr. Rays. This and the Crush's hotel are set closest to the large Pool and the Main building. The rooms are large enough for the young ones to move about without hurting themselves and their adults(you know the way kids do). The Food court was great, the offerings did not feel or taste as if was from a Mall's food court. The theming was so immersive it was like you were in the movies. Disney needs to do more Resorts like this. The only knock would be it's location it is not central by no means but you pay a lot more for this size room if you go anywhere else that is Disney owned.
Greatly themed rooms and courtyards areas, plenty of space in the suites, and an excellent cafeteria/marketplace area with lots of offerings. Fantastic resort. I will definitely be back.
Just back from a six day Orlando trip, staying at the Art Of Animation resort. We stayed in a Cars Suite, with great amenities! There was a good size bedroom with private bath, a couch in the living room with pull out bed and a third bed was a Murphy pull down in the dining area! There was also a 2nd full bath and two tvs! We enjoyed the microwave, coffee pot, sink and fridge as well. The room was perfectly located near the smaller Cone pool, and only a short distance from the main building and restaurant. The large pool was not all that far away either. The food area was the best we have seen out of all the resorts we've stayed at with lots of types of food made fresh to order!
Buses ran close to schedule. Great theming throughout the resort, with life size Cars characters everywhere! Definitely will stay here again!
I stayed in The Little Mermaid and, short of it being a pretty long walk (1500 steps per my pedometer) from that area of the property to the main building, I have no complaints. This resort is themed PERFECTLY, from the carpeting to the plants. My shower was Ariel's grotto. My inner nine-year-old went NUTS when I saw that. TLM section had plants that looked like seaweed, or had flowers in the same purple as Ariel's seashells (even the petals had a similar shape). The Lion King had long grasses that swayed in the breeze...and the music was hilarious. They have fun facts about the films on the walking paths around the buildings, and you MUST stop and look in the windows of the Cozy Cone...check out the postcards. If you are debating one of the All Stars vs. this one and your budget can handle it, stay here.
January 2013 was our first time to Disney World and I was unsure what resort to go with, and I have to say for choosing a resort this was an outstanding pick. There was plenty to see in the courtyards, movies every night for the families, huge swimming pool, and the rooms were very spacious. We stayed at the Lion King wing and loved every little detail of the rooms. We are actually planning on another trip in October and we will be staying at the same resort but trying the Nemo room for a different view :)
We stayed in the Finding Nemo section and it was adorable. The pool is huge and the music is piped in underwater. So nice. The family suites are a nice size and the mattresses are very comfortable. Kids as well as adults will enjoy this hotel.

Goldman Sachs' London-based head of prime brokerage in Europe and Asia, Alexander Ehrlich, has claimed there is no apparent correlation between the volume of short selling of stocks by hedge funds and market direction and volatility.Ehrlich, who was speaking at Borsa Italiana's second annual hedge fund conference in Milan last week, added: "We have seen no evidence of hedge funds ganging-up either." He said he drew these conclusions after scrutinising Goldman's book prior to recent discussions with regulators about the impact of short-selling hedge funds on stockmarket performance.
Dealers estimate that Goldman handles around one-quarter of Europe's short-selling activity. Ehrlich's opinions contrast with those of several large traditional fund managers that claimed short selling by hedge funds was driving down stock markets and causing financial instability. Back in July, two Dutch pension fund managers, PGGM and ABP, said they would no longer lend stocks to hedge funds.
David Prosser, chief executive of UK financial services firm Legal & General, also criticised short selling, claiming it worked against the interests of long-term investors.
Ehrlich is also co-chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs' global securities service business that encompasses securities lending alongside prime brokerage.

Good bright ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of raspberry, flowers and mint. Cool, juicy and leanish but with good lift to the pure red fruit flavors. Ultimately conveys a rather austere impression, with the finish showing a tart quality and firm tannic spine.
(6/ 2006)
Tea leaf aromas, with raspberry and blackberry, lead to a medium-to-full body, with soft, silky tannins and a pretty aftertaste. Best after 2008. (Web-2008)
If you follow Bordeaux you've no doubt heard about Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (we typically shorten that to just "Pichon Lalande"). In 1997, Pichon Lalande acquired Château Bernadotte in an area that borders the Pauillac appellation, just west of several classified growths and only a few kilometers away from Pichon. This property particularly interested Madame de Lencquesaing, who was in charge at Pichon Lalande, due to the quality of the soil and it's location near Pauillac and more than a couple prestigious classified growths. Immediately they began investing in the vineyards, vat room and cellars and elsewhere around the property. If you want to taste a delicious wine made by a world class team, at a fraction of the cost of the big names, and from a sensational vintage, look no further.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

Advice about Bitlocker and usb startup
Hi to all, I'm new of this forum, and I think is very well organized, so try to be part of this community will be a good choice...
Sorry if my english could be bad but english is not my motherlanguage
I have a new pc, and I have very very very meddlers relatives...
I have to lock my PC so I could have a relative high protection from them...so they can't access my pics, or read my facebook pm etc etc...
I know that I totally secure system doesn't exist but I think that with some good subterfuge we can deny their access to the machine...
I'd like to have a system with windows 7 because it will be used primary for playing and to watch videos, and troll around facebook...nothing more than this...
On the PC will be my first account as admin and I don't know if I will create a guest account
I'd like that on boot phase, the system ask me an usb key just to be sure that no one can access to the logon screen..about this I know that bitlocker, included in Windows 7 ultimate, can do this if I encrypt the entire partition, but I think that encypt the entire drive could bring some performace issue, and I don't want it..I just need that photo, and maybe browser are securely stored...
Do you have some advice to make the pc at least a bit inaccessible to user that what to use it when I'm not in my room?
So to sum up:
I'd like to have an usb key that works like a "smart card" (I need software advice to make this) to boot the system, and encrypt the disk or a part of the disk to make incaccessible sensible data like pics or browser history and saved password I know that bitlocker can help me in both things but I don't know if could degrade system performance...
Or I can use Windows 7 Home Basic + TrueCrypt...
Thanks in advace for your precious advice

Hello Piplup.
First, I would like to say welcome to Seven forums, now for the content of my knowledge.
I use Bitlocker on both my desktop and laptop using the 256 bit with diffuser and haven't seen any slowdowns. Depending on the method of your choice you can encrypt partitions or whole disks, if you encrypt the main partition that Windows is installed on you can unlock via USB, or just password protect your secondary partitions. Any secondary partitions will not auto unlock unless the main partition is also encrypted.
I suggest storing your files on a secondary partition instead of the main windows partition. On the secondary partition you can also create a password that will allow you to unlock the drive. This is the best practice especially if you have to re-install windows, you don't have to re-encrypt the secondary partitions and the password to unlock will always be the same.

I have just opened the preorders for the following Rainbow and Antique alpacasso series, if you are interested, do check them out here (Link) !
I also ordered this a loooong time ago! I did take picture of it as soon as I open the package and intended to post it but I forgot :(
I bought this 2 along with a yellow cubic cleaners (I didn't take a picture of it) and an 8cm white prince. But the prince is lost in customs :( I'm so sad but oh well. Maybe I bought too much, so God take one away lol. I hope he's in a good hands and found by a loving kid who'd take care of him somehow :d
Oh I bought it from Liz of plushies paradise!
thank you Sachirei for your continuous support, I really appreciate it! ♡o。.(✿ฺ。 ✿ฺ)
I recently lost an older series alpacasso on the streets, so I definitely can empathize >-<
16 cm Bridal Series Alpacasso (>'o')> ♥ <('o'<)
16 cm Cute Flower Series 2 Kids Alpacasso (∩˃o˂∩)♡
my new arpakasso finally arrived from plushiesparadise!!!
thank you for the mention <3
okay your cat is adorable (♥ó㉨ò)ノ♡
Flower Crown Alpacasso from plushiesparadise
Glad he arrived safely! His name is Ben
Flower boy Be-Jr is ♡♡♡
"Pooh and his friends were given as gifts by author A. A. Milne to his son Christopher Robin Milne between 1920 and 1922. Pooh was purchased in London at Harrods for Christopher's first birthday. Christopher later gave them to publisher E. P. Dutton, who in turn donated them to the New York Public Library."
Oh my god. Oh my god.
This is them, guys. This is them. Got chills.
this makes me want to cry
Hello 8D I have purchased a few times from Liz! She's definitely legit and sells authentic alpacassos, only thing I don't like is having to add tracking to my order separately/ not knowing shipping price until check out.
My alpaca orders from her (large ones) took 2 months to receive though. My friends told me if you order in small quantities it's faster but keep that in mind owo
Thank you Shirley for your valuable feedback!^^
In the past, I used to have sea/surfacemail as a shipping option, which is for if buyers preferred to save on shipping for large alpacassos, as it was a more economical option, but the downside is it can take as long as 60 working days to reach.
However, I only offer airmail shipping currently to reduce confusion and complications, which will just take 4-14 working days once shipped, to reach you, even for large alpacassos. :)
(Sorry for my late responses, was busy with my final year thesis & presentation >-<, and tumblr wasn't working on chrome, so finally succumbed to using IE)
Next neko on the prowl for.
Nnnnngh its going to be so squishy and huge and I may throw up <3
definitely need to hunt for this as well ƪ(♥ﻬ♥)ʃ

Integrating access control with other IP-based technologies
A push to the edge has vastly increased end-users' technology options
About 35 years ago, access control systems emerged on the market as customized microprocessor-based host processors connecting to field panels (multiplexors or data gathering panels) and, from there, to field devices such as card readers and electric locking devices. More advanced security systems might include change-of-state (binary) devices such as door position switches, request-to-exit devices and other point and volumetric intrusion detection equipment. Anything more sophisticated, such as analog inputs, required custom systems and software - typically mounted on DEC PDP platforms.
Things have definitely changed dramatically for security end-users since then. With the advances in IP-based technologies, end-users are now able to integrate many different technologies and devices into a common access control system.
Old School
In the past, field devices were hardwired to access control panels and the panels communicated to the host processor via serial data transmission on dedicated copper or via modems on POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines at 100 baud or 100 bits per second (300 baud if you had a fast system). To put these data rates in perspective - at 100 baud, it would take about one second to send the word "transmission." This compares to today's data rates measured in Gigabits per second - a 1 gigabit/sec rate would send this complete article 10,000 times in one second.
The low transmission rates back in those bad old days meant that data packets had to be kept short. An alarm signal would consist of a channel number and a panel number while an access control transaction sent the card number with reader/channel and panel number. The time and date stamp might be generated by the panel or at the host. A two- to three-second delay between a card read and a door unlocking was considered acceptable.
While audio transmits well on POTS lines, video was virtually impossible over voice-grade lines until the advent of Slow-Scan about 20 years ago when single-frame, low-resolution, black-and-white shots could be sent every few seconds - usually on dedicated lines. This ushered in volumetric intrusion detectors with built-in cameras that could transmit a series of still shots over the alarm lines to help reduce false alarms by identifying the cause of an alarm. However, the quality of the video was far from optimum and carefully designed scene lighting was needed to provide any chance of recognizing any perpetrators.
Although line-of-sight, long-distance video signals from analog cameras can also use infrared or microwave transmission, home run coaxial cable was the norm - achieving distances close to 1,000 feet using heavier cable (RG-11U). Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, using active baluns, is another solution; UTP can achieve video transmission from analog cameras up to 1.5 miles.
Network Development
The bandwidth (transmission rates) available on today's local and wide area networks (LANS & WANS) have opened up the flood gates for security applications. It started slowly with IP-addressable access control panels connected via network switches to the corporate LAN to eliminate the duplication of "trunk" cabling to the security system "host" (server). And connection of the security system server to the WAN provided inexpensive global connections via the Internet and Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
Next followed the introduction of digital video recorders (DVRs) to replace those dysfunctional (by today's standards) VCRs and provide integrated video switching and display. Video signals were still analog and required conversion to digital through an encoder, but with the addition of a network card, the DVR became IP-addressable and its digital content could be made available on the network for other administrative workstations (PCs). The network connectivity of the DVR also made for better interactive communication with the access control system.

- Not so greatOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/23/2014We selected an entree because it came with a specific side. When it was served, the side was missing. When the server went to check, the kitchen was out of that item. By the time a substitute was delivered, our meal was over. A substitute should have been served from the get go. On the plus side, our server was fantastic, very attentive but not overbearing. However, the food and wine are both overpriced. There are too many great restaurants in Va. Beach to go back to one that is only so-so.
- Mc Cormick & Schmickjojo65Dined on 10/17/2014Food was great, Server very knowledgable and helpful navagating through the menu! This was my first visit and will definitely return.Special Features:
- Welcome to FallGoodToGoVIPDined on 10/11/2014The new fall menu was very enticing. Selecting an entree was diffucult because soooo many things were appealing. My choice was Atlantic salmon stuffed with crab. It was absolutely delicious! Mashers and fresh grilled veggies completed the entree. My husband selected boulibaise and enjoyed the savory juice with fresh clams mussels, shrimp, calamari and white fish. Doesn't get any better than this! We will certainly make a return visit to try something new from their fall choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fantastic foodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/11/2014Super additions to the menu. Outstanding food and service. Great Chef creations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful dining experiencejbrashDined on 10/9/2014We had dinner at McCormick and Schmick's Seafood in Virginia Beach. We visit M&S if we are in an area where they have a restaurant and this particular M&S is the best we've been to. The food and service were outstanding. The restaurant looks to be new and clean and the servers work very hard to make the experience the best - they are very well trained and professional. We would definitely go back anytime we are in VB.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but could be betterBruceDined on 10/6/2014I booked on OpenTable and so when we arrived, we were brought directly to a private booth table on the side. We started off with the Margerita Pizza Flatbread, which was a large portion but not really all that fancy. A big piece of flatbread topped with mozzarella cheese and a slide of tomato and then carved into eight pieces. Meh, just average. For mains, my mom chose the salmon and she really enjoyed it. I had the yellowfin tuna, which was a great portion and nicely cooked, also with a portion of mashed potatoes and some steamed vegetables. Overall, the food was very good. Not perfect, but really quite good. The service was more than excellent and our server did a fine job.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulJeGoDined on 10/3/2014Our 16 anniversary. Very romantic, great food, DELISH drinks, quiet...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday dinnerViking4Dined on 9/29/2014It was our daughter's birthday. She ordered all her favorites. We oysters on the half shell and they were excellent. Best thing was our server Charlie. He gave us very special service. Will be returning for special events. Our 11 year old granddaughter ate oysters for the first. She actually liked them.Special Features:
- twinstampDined on 9/28/2014I loved seeing Dawn, Sarah and another girl behind the bar , Sarah usually waitressing there from Olive Garden great to see familiar faces.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday night dinner for fourSlomo928Dined on 9/27/2014Dinner was good, but less of a dining experience than I recall at other McCormick & Schmick's locations. My last M&S meal was in the Baltimore Harborside resteraunt and the food was more innovative and creative. That is not to say the food in Virginia Beach was not good, it was, but the preparation and presentation were not what we expected form M&S. Service was very good and prompt even though it was very busy Saturday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was perfectFoodLoverDined on 9/20/2014Waitress Dorothy was the best in twenty years of dining out.Special Features:
- BeachguyDined on 9/15/2014Warm reception, was seated immediately at out requested table, the server was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about all the menu choices and the specials. She was extremely attentive to our needs, but not overly so. The atmosphere is fantastic, and valet parking right at the front door. Our choices of the seafood specials were very good, and I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone for a great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodCDBADined on 9/14/2014For the price they list the food should always be on point. Order the beef w/stuff crab in shrimp, was not aware it came w/mixed veggie and mash potato. I order the medallion medium well (pink no blood) my friend order pasta w/salad. The waiter was very pleasant but did describe what came w/of the dishes. The salad came w/blue cheese (that was awful, sent it back)medallion was cook WELL done, very dry & food was warm. She crab soup was warm...Requested to take it home too cold to enjoy. When medallion return it was prepared just right (tender, pink inside as requested-HOT) sent the plate back requested they not heat the plate but HEAT the food. The quality of food was unsatisfactory! Too many issue to get free dessert on next visit!Special Features:
- Great Sunday Night MealSherryDined on 9/14/2014This was our second visit to this restaurant. We decided at the last minute that we wanted to eat out instead of cooking. I made reservations through Open Table and was able to pick a time one hour (7:00 pm) after we made our decision. Since the restaurant is a 30-minute drive from our home, it gave us just enough time to get dressed and go! We were seated as soon as we arrived, and our waitress arrived quickly. The restaurant was sparsely populated. We each chose a salmon dish, and they were both very tasty. The sourdough bread tasty, too. Our check was brought as soon as we finished our dinner and we left within one hour of arriving. The only thing that would have improved the experience was if we had been offered more water and bread.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very good place to go.RonCDined on 9/13/2014The food, service and atmosphere were very good. We all enjoyed our experience and will come back in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Enjoyable ExperienceFoodie109Dined on 9/13/2014The service and the meal at McCormick & Schmick's were both outstanding. The New England style clam chowder was decicous as was the salmon pasta. The Kahlua Cake was an excellent choice for dessert. Will definitely visit again.Special Features:
- Good seafood for a chainkloveslifeDined on 9/6/2014Good seafood for a chain. Wait staff should know ingredients better as I specifically asked for no cilantro (or no relish if it contained such) - got the relish and yes w/cilantro - bad reaction for me personally, so that part was inedible. Other than that and the loosened salt cover, which should never happen in a place w/such class, all was good. The staff did correctly and quickly replace the accidentally salt laden food, however. Great for special occasions and variety is wonderful. Overall, a good experience. And it was made extra special for my son's 22nd birthday with a nice surprise dessert and candle for him.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NEVER FAILS TO DELIVERHRDinerDined on 9/6/2014McCormick & Schmick's Seafood resturant in Town Center Virginia Beach is one of those relatively rare resturants where regardless of the day of the week, time of day, or part of the year you go there they will always have great food and service. They always are on point.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/22/2014Nice area. Food was delicious and so were the drinks. We dined between 7 and 8 pm on a Friday. Can't comment if it was a hot spot or vibrant bar scene since it was still early for a weekend night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. The waiter was nice but service was very slow. Also, the waiter simply read the menu to us (for way too long). They did not give us the drinks we ordered (two separate occasions), they did not timely refill them, and they charged me for a salad I did not receive. They do have a really good shrimp appetizer but it is $13.99 and that is simply too much for four pieces of shrimp.
- Vacation Family DinnerRestaurantSavvyDined on 8/13/2014Although the reservation process and the service was good, I felt the food didn't live up to the price. The portions were small and there was nothing outstanding about the taste or quality. I could have gotten a similar meal at a Red Lobster for a more reasonable price.
- Great first time experienceharleyriderDined on 8/11/2014My wife and I had a great time and excellent food. The service was very good as well.Special Features:
- Back on Top! Excellent food.SpecialOccasionCustomerDined on 8/10/2014This was my first visit to McCormick & Schmick's in almost a year. This was a huge improvement, putting McCormick & Schmick's back on the top of my preferred places for fine dining. The presentation of each entre was superior. The food was excellent with a balance of seasonings bringing out the flavor of each dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Brunch at M&SFitnessbabeVIPDined on 8/3/2014Enjoyed a quiet brunch at the Virginia Beach location on 3 August 2014. The clam chowder was tasty, but did not seem very fresh. The she crap soup however is very fresh and rich tasting. The omelet eggs were slightly overdone. The service was fantastic, timely, and professional.Special Features:
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014Excellent food and service. Overall, I had a great experience.Special Features:
- Evening outBeachpeopleDined on 7/31/2014We would give our dining experience overall a 2. We waited in the lobby for a while (along with 5 other people waiting to be seated.) We decided to sit outdoors and enjoy the evening weather while we ate...big mistake! The hostess said she would bring us a menu momentarily, but she never came back. We sat for 20-25 minutes before we had a drink or a menu. It was not a very busy weeknight. Luckily the waitress came by & asked if we had been helped. She was fabulous and if it wasn't for her we would probably rate our experience lower. Hopefully this was just a fluke and not a regular occurrence.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Fresh produce in Calgary?
- d
- darelleats Aug 11, 2009 06:51 PM
Where do you get your produce from?
We're Safeway shoppers for the most part, but lately the berries have been horrid. Twice now we've been duped and brought home what seemed fine, only to be forced to throw them out within a day or two. :(
I'm assuming that the farmers' markets are good places and I know that anything I've ever bought from the Calgary's Farmers' Market has been good, but we're certainly not regulars.
I figured I'd throw out the question and see if there are any hidden gems that I might be unaware of!
re: sarah galvin
Actually took my first trip to Millarville a few weeks ago and went back once since. Got some great stuff including some fresh dill that blew me away.
re: sarah galvin
I went to Millarville Market this Saturday and it was nice. I got some fantastic blackberries, beans and a beautiful bouquet of flowers for only $5. It's a bit out of town but it was a nice drive. Thanks for letting me know about this place!
re: DeeDub
I'd second DJ's, once you get to know the owners a bit, they'll let you know what is great and not so great. They are the only place I've found that gets wild mushrooms often and in good shape.
In the heat of the summer their produce sometimes do suffer but they get a pretty high turnover so generally there's always something that is very fresh.
Yes, the farmers markets have much better produce than safeway. I find the quality at Safeway to be very poor.
Forget the grocery stores for produce - they are too expensive. And even if it looks good, it never lasts as long as that from the farmer's markets. I also prefer Crossroads to CFM. I think CFM is more expensive for produce but still great products. CFM and Millarville are fun places if you have a leisure day to poke around. I myself, am on a mission to buy my weekly produce and get out of there! I've tried DJ's too and have found to be hit and miss. But great deals on the 'hits' for sure.
Frankly Safeway's "freshness guarantee" (or whatever they're calling it) isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I gave up on Safeway produce when I picked up a container of cherry tomatoes that had a number of fuzzy ones. Tonight I saw Peaches from NIAGRA at Superstore. WHY would I buy some sad little peach (they were past their prime) from across the country when I can get BC Peaches just about anywhere (but Superstore apparently).
Lately I've been shopping the smaller farmers markets - Grassroots (Northland Mall) on Tues, Hillhurst on Wed. Innisfail Growers and Blush Lane (both of which are also at CFM) are both top quality and both are at Grassroots.
If you google Innisfail Growers and Blush Lane you'lll find their homepages... There are a number of local growers within an hour or so of YYC who sell phenomenal produce at farm's gates and upicks. We took the kids up to Edgar Farms and Pearson's Berry Farm awhile ago...they were thrilled. Loads to see and a whole lot more enriching than the grocery store. Is it as quick as doing errands? No, but it's definitely a cheap outing. dee Hobsbawn-Smith's "Shop Talk" has been in our van all summer :)
re: maplesugar
ditto Grassroots -- don't do the main supermarkets during the summer. Grassroots has really grown from when they first started and with the kids it's an easy stop with good parking. CFM is starting to get too crazy for us, especially since our little one started walking.
Pearson's Berry Farm is a blast, but we get our berries down by the Bow River *shhhhhhh* officially you're not supposed to pick, but we get a couple of small containers only for a pie and that's it. If in the Berry Farm area, Buffalo Horn Ranch offers private tours. The family went last year and it was a great outing to add to the Berry Farm.
Amaranth as got in some amazing organic watermelon -- a bit pricey but I haven't seen this freshness or quality since we lived in Ontario; like fresh off the field. Wonderful stuff!!!!
Went to Crossroads last Friday.
1. Yellow BC cherries. Very crisp and tasty.
2. BC Peaches. Juicy and excellent taste.
3. Alberta fava beans, the freshest I have ever bought except for those I picked myself.
4. Elongated beets from the Hutterites, haven't tried yet.
5. Fresh pimento peppers, haven't tried yet.
Prices are very good on everything.
Oh and though off topic, the cheese vendor has an absolutely excellent selection, AND a cooler of near or past due date cheeses with very low prices. The best thing is, the cheeses are probably at their peak at that point in time.
Also OT, there is a fish vendor from BC operating out of a truck at the back of the market, with several products not usually seen in local markets. Not cheap though.
Going back soon
re: Scary Bill
Be very careful on the cheeses, at the back cooler, that are near past due. I've had some hits and misses on those. Some have been perfect others rotten with in a couple days.
I purchased some BC halibut cheeks from the Fish truck in July. They were excellent and never found around here. I think it was about $17 for enough for 3 people. A little pricey but isn't most fish in Calgary?
re: TSAW
Agreed, care is required. I would not buy any that seemed to be too far gone, and I would not buy any that I did not expect to consume within a few days.
I wondered about the cheeks as I am a fan of cod cheeks.
I find that Costco is pretty good pricing for fish here though you have to buy a large quantity and I'd rather not freeze fish fillets. Also Superstore often has very good pricing on lobster, but right now that is also a function of poor demand, with lobstermen getting less than $4 per lb. Oyster pricing is not bad either.
re: TSAW
You can find Halibut cheeks at Northsea Fish Market. We got a wild coho from them last week; it was positively amazing. Superstore sometimes has halibut cheeks, but it seems their excellent seafood manager at the Edgemont store has moved on. Fish quality there has gone downhill :o( Thus, I bite the bullet and drive to Northsea.
For sure, California is heads and shoulders above us in growing season and availabilty. I was buying fresh local fruits and veggies over the Christmas holidays at the Silverlake Market in LA. It amazed me what was available there in winter.
If you are downtown at all on a thursday then check out the stand that sets up outside the Glenbow museum on 8th ave at 1 st. SE. They sell BC produce and everything I have bought there has left me happy. Not to forget the convenience of being able to buy good produce on my break, rather than having to travel down to one of the markets.
re: Pintye
Just an update to the stand outside on 8th ave, bought lots of great stuff today for 15 bucks, Lots of good looking fresh fruit and veg. And they should have fresh figs in from BC sometime soon, for those who are interested in them.
Produce in Calgary generally seems to suck (at least since I started making business trips to California's Central Valley, and this vacation to the okanagan.)
I recommend spud.ca for weekly deliveries. Their carrots and green beans are head and shoulders above anything I can pick up at a supermarket. Their other stuff is generally better quality than Safeway, but not always. For tomatoes, sometimes the Italian grocers can help out.
Before spud, I used to go to sunnyside market http://www.sunnysidemarket.ca/ and compare its produce with the safeway across the street.
Farmer's markets sadly don't fit into my schedule, but weekly delivery does.

Sick of Bengals' antics on field

It is truly time for an attitude adjustment. Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis, I am sick to death of the attitude of a team (for many years now) who has won nothing. I am sick of the antics on the field. When a play is made (for example, a tackle) and the celebration over having […]
Hats off to businesses that stepped up for game

Hats off to the 10 Cincinnati businesses listed in The Enquirer that stepped up to sell out the Bengals-Chargers game on Sunday. I may have missed it, but surely the Bengals themselves, who have a high vested interest, also assisted monetarily. Correct? Ron Fly Schutte, Fairfield
Even when Brown is right, he gets it wrong

How ironic that after more than 20 years of getting it wrong, Mike Brown finally got one right, but ended up getting it wrong after all. After single-handedly picking losers such as Dave Shula, David Klingler, and Akili Smith, to name a few, it turns out that Mike Brown actually preferred Colin Kaepernick in the […]

I'd like to thank the Kroger Company and Procter & Gamble for stepping up, purchasing and donating the remainder of the Bengals playoff tickets so that the city at large can watch the game on television.

So let me get this right. Paul Daugherty thinks Mike Brown has gotten better and smarter because he lets an assistant coach talk him into picking Andy Dalton instead of Colin Kapernick?

Microsoft in 2014: What to expect
26th Dec 2013 | 10:00
Xbox, Surface, Windows updates and more
Looking back, 2013 was a big year for Microsoft, with multiple new products – improved Surface tablets, Windows 8.1 and the launch of the Xbox One, to name but a few. Not to mention the $7.2 billion (£4.6 billion) acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone unit.
On top of that, Steve Ballmer, long-time CEO of Microsoft, announced his retirement in August and will be stepping down within the next 10 months.
But that's all in the past. Microsoft is focusing firmly on the future, aiming to bring new and innovative products to market and continuing its core 'devices and services' focus. Here's a taste of what 2014 holds for Microsoft.
Windows 8.1 and beyond
Microsoft has moved to an annual product update cycle with Windows, similar to the one Apple has for OSX and iOS. This means that new versions of the OS will be pushed out every year, similar to Windows 8.1, and the good news is that these updates are likely to be free.
This means that OS uptake will be quicker, as users don't have to pay hundreds of dollars upfront to get their hands on the new software. We could see Windows 8.2 in 2014, while Microsoft concentrates on Windows 9 in the background.
Feature-wise, not very much is known about Windows 9. Microsoft is working hard to refine the desktop experience while attempting to bring new and exciting features to the platform. It's unlikely that Redmond will introduce a radical new design so soon after Windows 8's touch-focused 'Metro' approach not only tore up the rule book, but set fire to it and chucked it out of the window.
As we go into 2014, we'll see more and more Windows 9 rumours and leaks appearing. So stay tuned to TechRadar to see what Microsoft is planning for the next version of Windows.
Windows Phone 8 and beyond
The next major update to Windows Phone is expected to be version 8.1, in keeping with Windows 8.1 on the desktop. Various leaks have suggested that Windows Phone 8.1 will be visually similar to Windows Phone 8, but will include support for higher resolution screens, all the way up to 1080p. This increase paves the way for Windows Phone to replace the much-maligned Windows RT.
A new voice assistant, called Cortana, could also be added to Windows Phone. Rumours suggest that this could borrow technology from Xbox One's voice control and integrate it across all devices running Windows 8. Microsoft will hope that Cortana (a codename based on the artificial intelligence from the Halo games) can ultimately rival Google Now and Apple's Siri, with features that will include the ability to send texts, schedule alerts, add reminders, and more.
Other rumoured features expected to appear in Windows Phone 8.1 include a (much needed) notification centre, updated Live Tiles (that could display more information akin to Android widgets), and possible deeper accessory integration. Multi-tasking will also be improved, with both visual and behind-the-scenes tweaks that will aid performance and boost battery life.
Xbox One
Microsoft launched the Xbox One on November 22nd 2013, but next-generation games and accessories will continue to become available all the way through 2014 and beyond.
Like most new consoles, the Xbox One launched with just a handful of games and arguably the biggest and best games for the system – Destiny, Watch Dogs and Halo 5 – are all pegged for a 2014 release. The Xbox One will also benefit from the availability of more apps in 2014 and expect Microsoft to iron out some of the kinks in the interface and to improve the Kinect integration.
Surface tablets
Having just released the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, it's more than likely that we'll see Surface 3 models appear in the latter half of 2014.
Hardware-wise, these should include the latest Intel processors, which will bring even greater battery life, coupled with improved performance, possibly in an even thinner design. The Surface Pro 2 received no physical improvement over the original, so it would be nice to see it given a redesign.
As for the Surface (RT), the same improvements should be expected. Unlike the Surface Pro, the Surface tablet is built to rival the iPad – and assorted Android tablets. So a thinner and lighter form factor with additional processing power is likely to be on the menu.
Office for iOS and Android
In 2013, Microsoft did what many pundits thought was impossible and released Office for iPhone, albeit a stripped-down version that requires a Microsoft Office 365 account. An iPad and Android version are rumoured to be in the works, with a due date of early- to mid-2014.
The reason for Microsoft's tardiness when bringing its Office suite to iOS and Android is thought to be down to Surface exclusivity. When Microsoft does eventually release an iPad version, customers may be less inclined to purchase a Microsoft Surface (or Surface Pro) device, which are both already struggling to sell.
Internal changes and a new CEO
Steve Ballmer's retirement came as a big surprise to much of the industry, who imagined that Ballmer would be CEO of Microsoft until the day he died. Microsoft has set up a sub-committee to replace the outgoing CEO and, if web chatter is to be believed, potential candidates include Steven Elop, CEO of Nokia, Ford CEO Alan Mulally and Skype CEO Tony Bates.
Microsoft scrapped their employee-ranking system in 2013, a system whereby colleagues were encouraged to compete against each other rather than to work collaboratively. It (unsurprisingly) caused much infighting among those Microsoft employees who should have been working harmoniously together.
This internal change may seem insignificant, but it will help create a stronger Microsoft going into the New Year, and that can't be a bad thing for the industry.
The overall picture
Heading into 2014, Microsoft is in an incredibly strong position. Financially, the company remains strong, with a loyal base of business and personal customers who buy its Windows and Office software. It's worth pointing out that the Xbox One is likely to lose Microsoft money in 2014, as it battles the cheaper PlayStation 4 for the hearts and minds of gamers.
Crucially, the arrival of a new CEO is likely to usher in a new era at Microsoft, with key internal changes ensuring ground-breaking products and software. It wouldn't be too much to say that 2014 could be the year that Microsoft strikes back.

The Houston Astros and Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution will host a special event to honor veterans on Monday at Minute Maid Park.
The Astros Salute to Veterans Presented by Occidental Petroleum will honor our nation's military and veterans with a special thanks to those who served in World War II. Gates will open at 11 a.m. and tickets will be free at the gates. Concessions will be open and musical entertainment, including special performances by country music legends Gary Morris and Tracy Byrd, will begin at noon. There will also be a live demonstration by the Re/Max Sky Diving Team of Texas and the Honor Your Veteran photo display on the video board, featuring photos of veterans of any era submitted by the community.
A screening of the award-winning documentary Honor Flight: One Last Mission on the big screen in Minute Maid Park will highlight the event. This inspiring documentary is about volunteers racing against the clock to fly thousands of WWII veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorial constructed for them in 2004. As you can imagine, these "Honor Flights" are full of moving surprises.
Prior to the screening, the event will feature guest speakers US Senator John Cornyn, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, Adjutant General of Texas John Nichols, Col. Deborah Grays from the US Army, Texas DAR State Regent Pamela Wright, World War II veteran Col. George McDowell, producer of Honor Flight Clay Broga and Chairman and Owner of the Houston Astros Jim Crane.
Another special element of the event is the Consul General of France Sujiro Seam honoring eight United States World War II veterans with the medal of Chevalier in the French Order of the Legion of Honor in the Union Station Lobby of Minute Maid Park. This order was created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and has remained the highest, most prestigious, decoration in France. Those scheduled to attend are Senator John Cornyn, Mayor Annise Parker, Brigadier General Brently White, and Colonel Robert Samborski along with students from the Awty International School, Waltrip High School and the HISD Jr. ROTC program from Davis High School. Astros Hall of Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton will serve as emcee.


text: edkohler edkohler: liquidchroma: thomaslowrysghost: Historyapolis: Ever wonder why it's so hard to get a mixed drink south of Lake Street in Minneapolis? We can thank the historic "patrol limits," which were incorporated into the city charter in the 1880s. The ordinance required bars and liquor stores to be concentrated in select parts of town, with the rationale that police could more easily control liquor-fueled crime if all of these types of businesses were in one place. The city's largest liquor zone was the Gateway district on the banks of the Mississippi River. Another was the "Hub of Hell"—shown on this map at the intersection of 27th Avenue and 25th Street. This map delineates the liquor patrol districts in 1935, about 18 months after Prohibition was rescinded. It also shows the 37 establishments allowed to serve liquor outside of the districts. This group includes legendary institutions like the Nankin Cafe and the Curtis Hotel; it also includes highly selective locales like the Minneapolis Club and the Minneapolis Athletic Club, which were renowned for barring anyone who did not belong to the city's Yankee elite. City voters were being asked to determine whether these outliers could continue to serve liquor. Voters must have approved this request, as a defeat would have provoked a revolt of the well-heeled. The first families of Minneapolis would not have ventured into the increasingly seedy Gateway for their daily cocktail. The liquor patrol limits were rescinded in 1974, though it is still difficult in Minneapolis to get a liquor license or serve liquor outside of these historic limits. (image and text via The Historyapolis Project Facebook page) Ack! Well, come drink beer and wine AND NOTHING ELSE at an establishment south of Lake Street tonight, everybody. Neighborhood drinking establishments of any kind are hard to find to the south of Lake. I think neighbors would know each other better if they had more of these. Longfellow's benefitted a ton from the Riverview Wine Bar, Harriet Brewing, Merlin's Rest, and the new Blue Door Pub, which all bring in a solid share of customers from within walking/biking distance. I've also wondered how much Prohibition factors into this. Most of South Minneapolis was developed in the 20s, where each neighborhood had a corner store, but not a bar. This is very different than the older communities of NE Mpls, St Paul's East Side, and even Seward edkohler Source: thomaslowrysghost minneapolis beer
