Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The strain of publishing two major novels a year continues to show in bestseller Perry's 14th historical to feature private inquiry agent William Monk and his wife, Hester, despite the fresh start for Monk, who has recovered from the amnesia that afflicted him in Death of a Stranger (2002). In the autumn of 1873, because he needs the money, Monk agrees to recover valuable cargo stolen from a ship waiting to be unloaded at an East End London dock for the ship's owner, Clement Louvain, with the proviso that Louvain will also prosecute the thieves for murdering the ship's watchman. Monk enlists the aid of a young Cockney orphan, Scuff, who doubts Monk's ability to investigate a Docklands crime: "Yer in't got the wits fer it, nor the stomach neither. Yer stick to wot yer can do-wotever that is." Meanwhile, Hester, who receives no pay for the clinic she runs for streetwalkers, must deal with an unexpected death that she suspects may be murder. Unfortunately, the author too often tells rather than shows. The reader waits impatiently for the "ruthless" Monk to say or do something that suggests that quality. Still, with its focus on the lower classes and the Thames, the plot will resonate with fans of Dickens's riparian novel, Our Mutual Friend. And, as always, Perry uses her characters and story to comment on ethical issues that remain as relevant today as they were in Victorian times. Expect another bestseller.

From Booklist
Throughout much of the long-running William Monk series, set in Victorian England, the former London police officer and now "private enquiry agent" has been defined by his amnesia. In book after book, Monk has struggled to regain knowledge of his identity before the coach accident that took his long-term memory. In Perry's last Monk novel, Death of a Stranger (2002), the investigator regained his memory. In the latest, he barely remembers his amnesia at all and leaves the streets to work London's "longest street," the Thames. The question is: What is Monk without his amnesia? This book seems to abandon the now fully functioning Monk in favor of the far more varied and changeable Thames. After Monk is hired to investigate the theft of a cargo of ivory from a merchant ship and a related murder, he and the reader become aware of what a universe the river represents--and a crime-riddled one at that. It is fascinating to watch Monk try (and fail) to apply his London street smarts to a secretive milieu totally governed by the tides. Monk's investigation blends into his wife's work (Hester runs a clinic for assaulted or sick prostitutes) when a shipowner's cast-off mistress is brought in to the clinic with a mysterious ailment. This ailment eventually threatens all of London. Sketchy characterization, a somewhat obvious plot, but marvelous historical material on the Thames. Connie Fletcher

William Monk has been hired by shipping magnate Clement Louvain to recover a shipment of ivory tusks stolen from his schooner, the Maude Idris. Normally, Monk would stay away from a case in which he is at such a disadvantage (Monk may know the streets of London very well, but he knows next to nothing about the river, the docks or the wharfs), but money is low and the need dire, so that in spite of his reservations, Monk agrees to take on the case. Louvain wants the stolen shipment found quickly and without the involvement of the River Police -- an especially tricky combination when murder is thrown into the mix, for the thieves had bashed in the head of one of the sailors keeping watch aboard the Maude Idris. Even stranger, Louvain is not at all interested in seeing that the murderer is apprehended and goes so far as to forbid Monk from wasting his time going down that road. Now why would he do this? Surely the murderer was one of the thieves? Monk senses that Louvain is keeping a great many things from him.Read more ›
Anne Perry writes both the Thomas Pitt series and the William Monk series. When I am reading one or the other series, it is always my favorite at the time. Anne Perry has an uncanny knack of painting the scenes of her stories so vividly that you are transported back in time. She captures the essence and the flavor of the time period.
This book had at first two seemingly different storylines: the stolen ivory and the plague. I found the scenes with the clinic: the difficulty in raising funds for a clinic for fallen women, the struggle in running it, the characters associated with it, and the dealing with the plague the more intriguing storyline. It was not until the storylines merged into one that I started to enjoy the story involving the shipyards.Read more ›

Basic Approach
Mazda cooperates with Mazda Group companies, dealers and distributors both in Japan and overseas to raise the level of customer satisfaction (CS) and fulfill its role as a company customers can continue to rely on*1.
The Company grasps the needs of each country and region promptly and accurately based on customer feedback, and develops products and services tailored to each market. In addition, the Company strives to raise CS further through awards programs, training programs, and opportunities to share best practices.
Mazda Call Center
Believing that listening closely to customers' voices is the foundation for developing better products, Mazda has opened two channels for communication with customers: the Mazda Call Center and the Mazda Official Website in Japan. Mazda not only responds to inquiries, opinions and requests from customers honestly, accurately and quickly, but also promotes information sharing among relevant divisions to reflect customer voices in product development, sales and customer service.
Inquiries, opinions, and consultation of overseas customers are accepted at distributers and dealerships in each market area. The contacts of each market area and FAQ (frequently asked questions) are available on the Mazda website.*2
Customer Service Framework
Mazda Call Center
To listen to inquiries and opinions, and consult with customers within Japan via toll-free phone calls
Mazda Official Website
To listen to inquiries and opinions, and consult with customers within Japan via the Internet
FY March 2015 Breakdown of Mazda Call Center Customer Responses by Type (In Japan) (April 2014-March 2015)
Targets and Results for FY March 2015 (In Japan)
Questionnaires Given to Customers at Dealerships in Japan and Overseas
To establish the Mazda brand through communication with customers, Mazda conducts and uses questionnaire surveys of customers in cooperation with dealerships. In Japan, using an online questionnaire survey on Mazda shops, Mazda analyzes each customer opinion and reflects the results in operational improvements. In North America, questionnaires are distributed to customers who visit dealerships for purchase, maintenance or repair, and efforts are made to improve or enhance operations based on the opinions obtained.
Initiatives to Improve Customer Satisfaction (CS)
To understand the expectations of customers, Mazda conducts various surveys, including "customer survey," "dealer survey," and "social delight listening*3," on a global scale. The Company promotes initiatives to improve CS based on the customer needs identified for each country and region.
<Examples of initiatives in FY March 2015>
The Mazda Sales Approach, since 2010, refers to an initiative to reform sales activities from the viewpoint of becoming a company that customer can continue to rely on, with the aim of establishing the Mazda brand. Under the basic principle of placing customers in the center, Mazda is trying to establish a relationship of trust with customers by proposing appropriate lifestyles for them instead of just selling vehicles. All the Mazda Group employees involved in sales in Japan are striving through teamwork to develop human resources and improve their own skills as professionals of vehicle itself or customer services. While the Mazda Sales Approach initiatives were initially implemented within each shop, today, both dealerships and Mazda Motor Corporation are working together to execute the initiatives and reflect it in their sales measures and activities.
North America
As the US dealers association made "customer care" as the top priority, the thorough efforts are made between distributors and dealers in cooperation. In Canada, initiatives have been taken to establish an environment that encourages dealers to take voluntary efforts to improve customer satisfaction, and to create a corporate culture that facilitates further advancement of customer satisfaction.
To enhance the Mazda brand, with the aim of making customers become enthusiastic fans of the Mazda brand, efforts are being made to develop customer care strategies. Mazda and two local distributors worked together to fully understand customer expectations, and shared/ discussed strategies to respond.
*3 Hear the voices of customers through social media to study and analyze.
Deploying the Mazda Brand Communication and Experience Bases in Japan
Starting in FY March 2015, Mazda has been developing a new concept in sales outlets, which is called New-Generation Showrooms, to allow customers to experience the attractiveness of Mazda vehicles . Under the supervision of Mazda's Design Division, the New- Generation Showrooms are built in accordance with guidelines specifying three values to provide*4 and four showroom design concepts*5. Interiors and exteriors are designed using colors of black, white and silver, with black-based facility signs*6, and as accents, wood is used to form a comfortable space where dignity, high quality and warmness are well-balanced.
The Mazda Head Office showroom was reformed under the same concept as the New- Generation Showrooms, to enable customers to spend a more comfortable time and experience the Mazda brand world.
New-Generation Showroom Exterior (image)
New-Generation Showroom Interior (image)
*4 Shop designed with sense of exhilaration and Mazda uniqueness, new vehicle showroom that highlights the attractive features of Mazda vehicles, and shop layout that can help strengthen bonds with people.
*5 Dignified presence, power to attract people, showing vehicle as attractive and beautiful, with comfortable furniture
*6 Mazda brand symbol and showroom name that are used at each showroom
Mazda Sales Approach (Examples of Initiatives in Japan)
Mazda is working through an initiative to reform sales activities from the viewpoint of becoming a company that customer can continue to rely on (Mazda Sales Approach). Based on this initiative, every sales stuff is taking actions with a thought of "what we can do" for customers' smile.
One example of this is from Japan. When delivering a new car to a customer, the staff noticed about the customer's mixed feeling, an excitement of getting new car and sadness of getting apart from the old car. With the thought of bringing the smile to customers, the staff washed the old car and took a commemorative picture with the customer. The staff received a kind comment from the customer saying how happy he/she was to see the sales staff respecting both the car and feelings.
Sharing and Recognition of Best Practices at Dealerships
To boost the level of customer satisfaction (CS) efforts throughout the distributors and dealerships, a system of sharing and awarding the best practices has been put in place. Specifically, a system is to share and award staff at a dealership based on the viewpoints of: remarkable contribution to sales (sales volume, share, etc.), growth potential in service/parts businesses, ability to respond to quality problems, results of CS surveys in the sales and service fields, achievements in CRM*7 activities, and excellent marketing activities.
Walk-Around Contest
Examples of initiatives in Japan
|Customer Satisfaction (CS) Initiatives Presentation Meetings
|Once a year
|CS Initiatives Presentation Meetings are held , hosted by the Mazda Dealership Association in each region, to share examples of best practices from dealerships and shops.
|Staff Awards
|Once a year
|To encourage staff self-improvement, meetings are held on a periodic basis to award sales and service staff members according to their degrees of achievement of targets, improvement of technical skills, and contribution to improved vehicle quality. Besides individuals, shops that have achieved their targets as a result of their customer-oriented activities, demonstrating excellent teamwork, are also awarded.
|Walk-Around Contest
|Once a year
|The Walk-Around Contest, a competition of customer-service role-playing, is held with the aim of encouraging sales staff to acquire product knowledge and improve their customer service skills. In FY March 2015, the national competition for used-car sales is held concurrently with the competition.
*7 Customer Relationship Management
Communication with Dealerships
Mazda works to provide its all dealerships in Japan and overseas with information on mid- and long-term strategies, products, and services in a timely manner, and also makes proactive efforts to collect information from them.

Communication between Mazda Motor Corporation and Distributors
U.S.: Establishing firm partnerships with local dealers
Since many dealers in the United States deal in conjunction with Mazda and other brands, close communication to promote the understanding of Mazda brand with each dealer is crucial and maintain a firm partnership with them. To establish and maintain trust with dealers, by giving a feeling of expectations to future of Mazda and making a hope to continue dealing with Mazda brand, the Company is having meetings that explain the direction of brand value management starting in FY March 2014. The company held meetings for managements in dealers so that they can have a chance to know about the philosophy of Mazda's brand value management and the values that Mazda can offer. About 100 managements in December 2013 and about 20 managements in December 2014 attended in the meetings.
China: Cooperating with two sales joint ventures to promote brand value
In China, Mazda has established two sales companies, FAW Mazda Motor Sales and Changan Mazda Automobile Sales, as joint ventures with local companies. To share the brand strategy between two different companies, with different capital structures and models to handle, Mazda held the China Marketing Forum. The participants are the two sales companies, as well as Mazda Motor (China), which integrate business operation in China, and Mazda Motor Corporation. In FY March 2015, several meetings were held with managements and working-level members to discuss and share the information about brand communication, customer-care, and development of mid- and long-term brand strategy for enhancing the brand value management that Mazda is promoting.

Many websites promote absolutely free psychic reading, but do not deliver. Have you ever been disappointed in links that lure you into a website that is supposedly leading to 100 % free psychic chat no credit card? Yes you have. And guess what, you are not the only one. There are numerous websites online that promise nothing but free online psychic chat rooms and absolutely free psychic reading, and when you click on the link, you end up on websites that demands payment prior even talking to a psychic.
How to choose a Psychic for a Private Reading
Feeling stressed or not trusting your psychic of a choice may cause a gap between what your psychic of a choice is saying and what you are receiving. What does that mean? When you receive your reading it is not all in words you hear, most of the help is in vibration that is applied to you through those words and blocking that vibration passing on to you to help you, that situation creates a misunderstanding.Psychic reading is a delicate process. It requires someone who you know to trust. Based on that claim, you need to be able to have a word or two if not more to get to know the psychic of your choice as a person, to see how they work, to see if you can trust them to begin with. You want to feel as comfortable as possible when receiving a reading.
100 % free psychic chat NO Credit Card
Now one of the most known free online psychic chat rooms is website called Oranum. This website is really client friendly environment. If client is not ready to share their details in front of others, they have a private option that charges per minute.
Their privacy protection goes further than that. Logging in does not require choosing username that shows people's true identity. Well you may use it if you wish so but you are not obligated to do so.
The site in hand promotes free online psychic chat rooms, that are really 100 % free psychic chat no credit card, so you get the chance to meet and see the chemistry between you and your psychic of your own choice before u decide to have a reading with them. Knowing the psychic and become a 'friend' has its own benefit as well, and it most normally involves an absolutely free psychic reading.
Choose a Psychic expert
What the website offers is a wide variety of psychic experts, specializing in different areas of spiritual based help, that people can choose from. So the entire process focuses on person getting to know psychics and see if they can relate to them.
The Oranum website is unique in its performance. One of the main reasons is that people can see how their psychics work in private reading by observing a so called demo reading. But demo reading is not done just based on theory how reading should work, it is an actual reading performed by a psychic, they themselves actually chooses a member in the room and do an actual reading on one topic or more, to demonstrate their abilities and methods of their work.
So basically you are offered to have free psychic reading chat, and no credit card required in order to get you a free answer. All you need is a bit of luck and patience. You can read more on Psychic Reading on Wikipedia.
Let me show you how to get totally free psychic reading
Getting a free reading only on occasions when a 'demo reading' is scheduled is not the only way to do it. Let me get you in on a secret. Psychic experts working on Oranum website are only human, and that means they do cherish friendly clients, people who respect and like them for who they truly are and what they do. So a very good way to get yourself a free reading every now and then is to take time, find your psychic that you correspond with, and make a friend.
Is making friends the key to totally free psychic reading?What does that mean? Corresponding with a psychic does not merely mean on friendship, earthly based level, it also has to be the psychic you believe has most accuracy in readings and gives most information in readings. That way your absolutely free psychic readings will have just that, accuracy and information that will help you on your path.
And a little assistance on the inside information, making friends with psychics is a bit more complicated than the usual friendship is formed. To gain a full, doubt free, friendship with them, some level of devotion will be needed.
Patience will be the key, since you will have to use a strategy. I will explain shortly what that means.
So now, surf from room to room and observe their work, listen to what they talk about, and see if you correspond with it. Now when you have chosen the psychic, now patience sinks in. Do not enter the room and all of a sudden spill out your question you need answered.
Take your time, ask questions such as, how long have you been doing this, what are your tools, how does it feel doing this, what is your take on angels, energies or different topics you can think off…so get them to talk about topics you are interested in make them interact with you. That way a psychic will have some idea of what you are and how you correspond to them, and talking to them also gives them some information about you, because conversation opens up the energy field and they have an easy read in the future. Read more on Psychic Predictions.
Now done that for some short period of time, together with kindness, you are all good to go to ask a free psychic question and get a potential absolutely free psychic reading.

Breathing Under Water | Guest Post with Sophiie Hardcastle #breathingunderwater
Today I have the privilege of welcoming local YA Author Sophie Hardcastle to the blog who is celebrating her release week for her debut fiction novel Breathing Under Water. Sophie has kindly written a fantastic guest post about inspiration
When I wrote Running Like China, I don't think I necessarily needed to be inspired for ideas, but rather possessed a feeling of urgency to tell a story I hoped would inspire others. It was something that had actually happened to me and all I needed to do was get it out.
Fiction is different. For me, Breathing Under Water seemed to write itself. Even though I was technically writing it, the plot twists were just as new and exciting for me as they were for anyone else reading it. I felt like I stepped into Grace's shoes and had the privilege of telling her story as it unfolded. However, even though I felt like the story wrote itself, whether I was conscious of it or not, there were no doubt things in the real world that inspired my ideas. Below, I'm going to try and unpack those inspirations…
I am inspired by nature. Grace and Ben are surfers, something that is undoubtedly inspired by the connection I have with the ocean. I surf because it helps me breathe. When I'm in the ocean, everything is washed clean and I'm connected to a body far greater than myself. In Breathing Under Water, the ocean becomes Grace's lifeblood and surfing is how she breathes when her world unravels.
I am inspired by pain. As John Green says, 'pain demands to be felt.' I don't wish pain and suffering upon myself, but for the times my heart has ached, I have used those experiences to make my stories real. I write brutally honest stories because pain is brutal. Someone said to me the other night, 'pain is pain' and it doesn't matter what it is, if you feel it, you feel it. I want to write stories that validate people's suffering, that make real their pain so they know they're not alone.
Finally, people inspire me. I love seeing how greatly people's perspectives differ. I believe there are no absolute truths, because everyone has their own reality and their own truth that they believe in. I open conversations because I want to hear the language people use to describe universal concepts. I travel because I want to know how people build their houses, drink tea, show compassion, and speak to their friends… I people watch because I want to know how people engage physically with others, and how their bodies move when they hug a friend. I think my interest in my fellow human beings helps to inspire authentic, multidimensional characters.
About the Book
Nineteen minutes and eleven seconds separated us at birth. On the official documentation, he is older . . . Although it really has nothing to do with age. What it really means is that I am, and have always been, second.
Ben and Grace Walker are twins. Growing up in a sleepy coastal town it was inevitable they'd surf. Always close, they hung out more than most brothers and sisters, surfing together for hours as the sun melted into the sea. At seventeen, Ben is a rising surf star, the golden son and the boy all the girls fall in love with. Beside him, Grace feels like she is a mere reflection of his light. In their last year of school, the world beckons, full of possibility. For Grace, finishing exams and kissing Harley Matthews is just the beginning.
Then, one day, the unthinkable. The sun sets at noon and suddenly everything that was safe and predictable is lost. And everything unravels.
BREATHING UNDER WATER is a lyrical and emotionally powerful novel about life, death and learning to breathe in between.

Drinking window not specified (Add My Dates)
Dinner With Paul Draper in NYC - older vintages of Ridge (Cafe Boulud): A very interesting wine that has stood the test of time. The nose is smoky with exotic fruits and minerals. The smokiness continues on the palate with flavors of dry, old lemons and pineapples. The texture is creamy and unctuous with good acids still! The finish lacks real complexity but this is really interesting to drink and improved with food.

A65 portraits fall
Oct 29, 2012
This is only the second time im trying portraits, Used A65 with 35mm f1.8 and my Samyang 85 1.4 was really shining in this kind of situation. Normally i shoot landscapes but portraits are really fun and challenging, i learned alot about exposure, angles and shadows. Anyhow here very few from the day (took around 300ish).

Home > Press > Molecular Motors Cooperate In Moving Cellular Cargo
Tiny movements of molecular motors seen
Researchers using an extremely fast and accurate imaging technique have shed light on the tiny movements of molecular motors that shuttle material within living cells. The motors cooperate in a delicate choreography of steps, rather than engaging in the brute-force tug of war many scientists had imagined.
"We discovered that two molecular motors - dynein and kinesin - do not compete for control, even though they want to move the same cargo in opposite directions," said Paul Selvin, a professor of physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and corresponding author of a paper to appear in the journal Science, as part of the Science Express Web site, on April 7. "We also found that multiple motors can work in concert, producing more than 10 times the speed of individual motors measured outside the cell."
Dynein and kinesin are biomolecular motors that haul cargo from one part of a cell to another. Dynein moves material from the cell membrane to the nucleus; kinesin moves material from the cell nucleus to the cell membrane. The little cargo transporters accomplish their task by stepping along filaments called microtubules.
To measure such minuscule motion, Selvin and colleagues at Illinois developed a technique called Fluorescence Imaging with One Nanometer Accuracy (FIONA). The technique can locate a fluorescent dye to within 1.5 nanometers (one nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or about 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair). Recent improvements to FIONA now allow scientists to detect motion with millisecond time resolution.
Selvin's team used FIONA to track fluorescently labeled peroxisomes (organelles that break down toxic substances) inside specially cultured fruit fly cells. This was the first time the imaging technique had been used inside a living cell.
"Our measurements show that both dynein and kinesin carry the peroxisomes in a step-by-step fashion, moving about 8 nanometers per step," said Selvin, who also is a researcher at the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory on the Illinois campus.
"Because we see a fairly constant step size, we don't believe a tug of war is occurring," Selvin said. "If the dynein was fighting the kinesin, we would expect to see a lot of smaller steps as well."
The researchers also noted that faster movements occurred with the same step size, but with greater rapidity. When measured outside the cell, kinesin moved about 0.5 microns per second. Inside the cell, the speed increased to 12 microns per second.
"There must be a mechanism that allows the peroxisomes to move by multiple motors much faster than independent, uncoupled kinesins and dyneins," Selvin said. "It appears that motors are somehow regulated, being turned on or off in a fashion that prevents them from simultaneously dragging the peroxisome."
In the future, Selvin wants to combine FIONA and an optical trap technique to monitor the speed and direction of a peroxisome, and the force acting upon it.
"By measuring force we can determine how many molecular motors are working together," Selvin said. "This will help us further understand these marvelous little machines."
Collaborators on the study included Illinois graduate students Comert Kural and Hwajin Kim (lead authors), Illinois professor of cell and structural biology Vladimir Gelfand (now at the Northwestern University School of Medicine) and postdoctoral research associates Sheyum Syed at Illinois and Gohta Goshima at the University of California at San Francisco.
The work was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Spaghetti Warehouse
Spaghetti Warehouse is an Italian restaurant geared towards families with 14 locations in 7 U.S. states. The chain started in 1972 in Dallas, Texas, and has since spread throughout the southern and eastern parts of the United States. The location in Columbus, Ohio, which opened in 1978, is the largest both in seating capacity and in sales. The Columbus location seats approximately 800 people. Each restaurant has a trolley car in the dining room and patrons are able to sit in the car. One of Spaghetti Warehouse's unique characteristics is that many of the older locations are in renovated, historic buildings.
Spaghetti Warehouse, Inc., was acquired in 1998 by Consolidated Restaurant Cos. (a holding company of the private equity firm Cracken, Harkey & Co. L.L.C.).[1] The Old Spaghetti Factory, started three years earlier, has a very similar format. In June 2007, Consolidated Restaurants sold the chain to the Los Angeles-based investment firm Frandeli, Inc.

Dallas, Texas[edit]
The original location, in the West End of Dallas, Texas, opened in 1972.[2] The building was built in 1891 and served as a pillow factory for much of its history. One of the largest locations in the chain, including two floors and private dining rooms, it is credited[by whom?] as the first restaurant-retail business in the neighborhood that spurred the rebirth of the West End area of Downtown Dallas in the 1970s and 80s. It is home to many former brass bed headboards, an old confessional, and the headboard and footboard of a bed that belonged to Stephen F. Austin, which is now a booth that fits up to 8 people. An original East Dallas trolley car is in the main dining room.
Austin, Texas (closed)[edit]
The Austin location was the third location in the chain's history. Opened in 1975, and built in 1902, it used to be a grocery warehouse, and during prohibition, was a brothel. Two chandeliers from New York City's Penn Station reside there as well as the original box office from Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Like its Dallas counterpart, it is also home to an original East Dallas trolley car. The Austin location closed April 23, 2011 due to physical building issues.
Columbus, Ohio[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (December 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Columbus location was the first Spaghetti Warehouse outside of Texas, and the fifth to open in the chain. It opened in April 1978 in an old ice house built in the 1880s. It is the largest in the company and continually exceeds its counterparts in weekly sales. It is such a "landmark" in Columbus, that many diners there believe it to be the only location. It is home to two confessionals taken from churches in New England, as well as a 1920s German elevator in which patrons may sit for dinner. The original steam engine that kept the building cold when it was an ice house, is still located in its lobby. Another artifact there includes the head of a moose killed by former President Theodore Roosevelt along with its certificate of authenticity.
Akron, Ohio[edit]
The Akron location opened in 1992 on the site of a former B. F. Goodrich Corporation warehouse, that was originally built in the 1870s. The Akron store features a 20-foot chandelier that once belonged to the Dunes Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Several Akron rubber tire company signs, and antiques. Although not one of the original, warehouse type stores from the 1970s and 80s, it is in a historical building in a historical area, unlike other newer locations such as Plano, Texas, Arlington, Texas, or Elk Grove Village, Illinois, which are all in buildings that were built specifically to be Spaghetti Warehouses.
Memphis, Tennessee[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (December 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Memphis location is inside a typical warehouse of the late 19th to early 20th century. It is decorated with an original trolley used for transportation in downtown Memphis, and with doors and light fixtures from Memphis Union Station which had been abandoned and razed in 1968 to make way for a new post office. When Elvis Presley returned from the Army on March 7, 1960, he was greeted in Memphis Union Station by a crowd of several hundred fans. The station was located about 0.6 mile southeast of the restaurant's current site.
Houston, Texas[edit]
The Houston location is said[by whom?] to be haunted, and is the company's second one and second-largest, after Columbus, Ohio. It opened in 1973 in Downtown Houston. Like the Dallas location, it has two floors of dining.
Ybor City, Tampa, Florida[edit]
The Tampa store is located in the former tobacco storage warehouse of the Ybor Factory Building in the historic neighborhood of Ybor City. The building was constructed in 1886 and was the largest cigar factory in the world at the time. The walls and floors of the restaurant consist mainly of original exposed brick, and a replica of an Ybor City street car is located inside the main dining room. On March 4, 2016, it was announced this location would be closing, however, on March 9, 2016 the parent brand, BLD Brands, stated the location will remain open for another full year while another location is scouted.
Little Rock, Arkansas (closed)[edit]
The Little Rock location opened in 1990, housed in the former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway passenger station. This historic building had opened in 1901 as the Choctaw Route station, but had been vacant since 1968, after being purchased by the preservation minded owners of the Arkansas Gazette. At the time this Spaghetti Warehouse location opened, it was reported to be the company's most expensive renovation to date, and part of the dining area also include a 1924 Pullman car which had been used by the Cotton Belt Railroad. Spaghetti Warehouse also acquired an antebellum home, the Alexander George house, which had served as a division headquarters for the railroad. For four years, Spaghetti Warehouse worked with local preservationists in an effort to save this structure, which was finally razed in 1994. The slow pace of downtown Little Rock redevelopment doomed the restaurant, and this location was closed in February 1996. The former passenger station building is today part of the Clinton Presidential Center.
Norfolk, Virginia (closed)[edit]
The Norfolk location opened in 1991 and closed in 2001. It was housed in the Southern Bagging Company building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[3][4]
