fishbat Touts the Use of Twitter for Brand Awarenessadmin
By fishbat
In reponse to an article published by Mashable, fishbat, an award winning online marketing firm, discusses why businesses should be using Twitter for brand awareness
Bohemia, NY / http://www.myprgenie.com/ / via ACCESSWIRE / April 05, 2014 / fishbat, an award winning online marketing firm, urges businesses to use Twitter for brand awareness.
According to an article published by Mashable titled "Successful Brands Don't Care About Sales on Twitter," most brands have been using twitter for years. Though the social network has its own advertising platform, a new survey conducted by Social Media Marketing University found that most brands don't partake in Twitter ads. The survey, which compiled data from over 1,000 marketing professionals in the U.S., found that most businesses use Twitter for brand awareness, not sales. The article says that nearly 80 percent of businesses use Twitter to boost brand awareness efforts, 58 percent use it to drive traffic and 55 percent use it to engage customers.
Justin Maas, vice president of client relations at fishbat, an award winning online marketing firm, says brands should be more focused on engagement, customer service and building brand awareness on Twitter or other social channels. "Social media is not all about driving sales," he says. "Instead, brands should be using it to boost their customer retention and build loyalty within their target market. Brands that take the time to respond to customer concerns or join conversations often have a higher chance of converting those conversations into sales."
Maas also says Twitter is a great tool to use to get involved in conversations generated around a specific topic or event. "Use hashtags as a way to promote events," he explains. "If your business is not using Twitter as a means to increase positive brand image, it could be detrimental to your overall performance."
fishbat is a full-service digital marketing firm and social media agency dedicated to connecting all types of businesses with their target audiences in the most effective and efficient way. Through innovative strategies in social media management, search engine optimization (SEO), branding, web design, reputation management and public relations, fishbat promotes a consistent and professional online voice for all of its clients.

Thanks for the sharing. It's really neat to hear what might be coming down
(up) the pike in a few years. I've never tried my hand at Hosta
hybridization, but for the past couple of years I have been doing crosses
with tropical hibiscus. It take a year and a half to two years before you
see the first bloom on a seedling (meanwhile here in TN of course, you have
to overwinter in a stuffed greenhouse). Anyway, my first successful cross
bloomed this weekend for the first time. In my eyes it's the most beautiful
hibiscus every seen. Of course, I will be sending pics to other hibiscus
breeders to judge whether this baby is worthy of grafting and
propagation... It's really exciting, isn't it!

The guy at a conventions that is so fat that it makes all the other fat guys feel pretty good about themselves.
Scott Kurtz @PAXE: "I mean, I'm fat, but there are some fucking fat people here. I think Khoo hired some sort of alpha fat guy to sit in the corner and make me feel good about myself. He just sits there and keeps eating soup, he's too tired to chew anything at this point, and he keeps making noises and begging to leave but Khoo won't let him."

From: Beautilicious,
2013's award season continued on Wednesday night with the Brit awards, AKA the biggest night of the year for British music. Following this month's Grammys and in preparation for Sunday's Oscars, the Brits provided yet another excuse for some of our favourite celebrities to coif their hair, don their finest gowns and parade along the red carpet looking fabulous.
Unfortunately no matter how fancy the dress of how big the hair, at these award ceremonies not everyone gets to take home a trophy. So, here at Wahanda, we thought we'd get into the red carpet spirit and dish out some of our own awards to celebrate a few of our favourite looks. Presenting the first ever Wahanda Brit Awards Beauty Awards. Drumroll please…
She might not have been there in person, but when Adele appeared via video link to accept the Best British Single award for Skyfall we couldn't help but notice her hair. Wearing her trademark semi-beehive in a half-up-half-down do, Adele's hair looked bouncy, chic and very on trend. Teamed with dramatic winged eyeliner she looked every inch the 1960's queen – one of this season's hottest looks. We mean spring by the way, not awards season, the 1960s look is one for everyone to try, red carpet or not.
Another beauty look set to be big in 2013 is the orange lip. This playful alternative to the classic red lip is brighter, warmer and easier to wear. Don't believe us? Just take a look at Caroline Flack's Brit Awards pout. Dressed in navy blue, with some seriously smokey eyes, Caroline's bright coral lipstick added a pop of colour, fun and spring to her red carpet look. For a similar effect try Topshop's Lips in Charmed. This peachy shade has a gorgeously matte finish, perfect for giving any outfit a spring 2013 update.
With a personal style she has described as 'gangster Nancy Sinatra', long nails always play a big part in Lana Del Rey's outfit – even when she's keeping it low key. At Wednesday's Brits, Lana teamed a black Chanel shirt dress and messy plait with a set of truly fierce nails. Clearly Lana was inspired by our LFW round up as the she opted for a sort of updated French manicure to collect her award for International Female Solo Artist. We love Lana's gold-tipped red claws, but realise they're not entirely practical for everyday wear. Keep them trimmed short for a look that is equally glamorous, almost as eye-catching and office appropriate.
As one of the night's performers, with a hit album and heavily debated love-life under her belt, all eyes were always going to be on Taylor Swift at the Brits. Perhaps that's why she took the opportunity to unveil a sultry new look. A far cry from her signature red lips and ponytail, Taylor arrived on the red carpet sporting nude lips and a pair of very dark eyes, accentuated by her loose hair and blunt fringe. One of 2012's biggest makeup trends, the smokey eye appears to be going nowhere in 2013. For a Taylor-esque smoulder try lining your lower lids with a thick line of dark copper. Nice work Miss Swift.
As one of the UK's best-loved models, it is Lisa Snowdon's job to look gorgeous, but here at Wahanda when we see a job done well we like to say…well done. Lisa Snowdon always looks beautiful and Wednesday's Brit Awards were no exception. With her hair swept into a side parting and worn in a low bun, and eyes heavily lined in black, Lisa's look was all at once classic, exotic and very 2013. A true pro if ever we saw one. Bravo.

Does Product Market Competition Lead Firms to Decentralize?

Harvard Business School Strategy Unit Working Paper No. 10-052
There is a widespread sense that over the last two decades firms have been decentralizing decisions to employees further down the managerial hierarchy. Economists have developed a range of theories to account for delegation, but there is less empirical evidence, especially across countries. This has limited the ability to understand the phenomenon of decentralization. To address the empirical lacuna we have developed a research program to measure the internal organization of firms - including their decentralization decisions - across a large range of industries and countries. In this paper we investigate whether greater product market competition increases decentralization. For example, tougher competition may make local manager's information more valuable, as delays to decisions become more costly. Since globalization and liberalization have increased the competitiveness of product markets, one explanation for the trend towards decentralization could be increased competition. Of course there are a range of other factors that may also be at play, including human capital, information and communication technology, culture and industrial composition. To tackle these issues we collected detailed information on the internal organization of firms across nations. The few data-sets that exist are either from a single industry or (at best) across many firms in a single country. We analyze data on almost 4,000 firms across twelve countries in Europe, North America and Asia. We find that competition does indeed seem to foster greater decentralization.

McLouth Happenings
February 12, 2013
It was a beautiful day at the Methodist Dome (McLouth United Methodist Church) Feb. 3 when the McLouth and Tonganoxie teams united to fight hunger.
The McLouth team's offense and defense shined throughout the Souper Bowl, not only shattering last year's record, but running away with the Souper Bowl Championship. McLouth scored big by stacking 5,092 cans totaling 7,178 points, while Tonganoxie piled on 2,746 cans for a total of 4,184 points. That means an unbelievable win of totaling 7,838 cans delivered to food pantries in and around McLouth and Tonganoxie. Thanks to all you Souper Stars who helped us really shine. Also, we really thought it was 'souper' how the community joined in to help us tackle hunger.
American Legion Riders Post No. 41 will hold the monthly meeting at 3 p.m. Sunday at Mirth Café Too on U.S. Highway 24-40 in Tonganoxie.
— Please submit McLouth Community information, announcements, and upcoming events to Beverly Muzzy at firstname.lastname@example.com or 913-796-6935.

Visual Art Studies Student Julia Caswell Competing in University-Wide Undergraduate Research Showdown
Fri. October 14, 2016
Be sure to check out Julia's project and VOTE for her research to advance to the final round!
"Research plays an important role in the undergraduate Visual Art Studies (VAS) program," writes assistant chair of the Art Education program Dr. Christina Bain. "Since our field examines questions that generally focus on people, learning, and creativity, qualitative research methodologies are well suited for this type of field-based research. VAS students have multiple opportunities to practice research strategies during their coursework and participate in the Undergraduate Research Showcase annually."
We decided to interview Caswell to find out more. Interview conducted over email.
Could you explain a little bit about your project for Undergraduate Studies Texas Research Showdown?
Julia Caswell: My participation in the Undergraduate Studies Texas Research Showdown is bounded by two objectives. First, the competition's video requirement asks students to explain their creative research to a general audience. Within the competition format, other students on campus can vote on their favorite entries in the competition and the top six applicants—three voted in by popular vote and three selected by a panel of UT judges—are invited to present their work to a live audience at the final round on Tuesday, November 15, 2016.
Secondly, my objective going into this project and this research was to investigate systematically how audio walks were designed, implemented as educational programs and studied in a museum setting. Which meant that, while interning as the School Groups Program Intern at the Children's Museum of the Arts in New York, I proactively developed an audio walk. An audio walk is a digital program that you can use in an app-format that gives you interactive information to create an immersive experience with the work in the Cynthia C. Wainwright gallery. The design is meant to encourage engagement while directing viewers through the gallery, introduce children and their families to contemporary art, and utilize inquiry-based questions in the development of higher-level thinking, all while being easy-to-use and fun.
The implementation and testing were developed for the Children's Museum of the Arts with their unique space and mission in mind. This is an idea I came up with while considering the needs of all the museum's stakeholders, including the curators, administrators, teaching artists, art educators and most importantly the museum's patrons. The museum was very open to the different avenues we could take with incorporating audio into their programming. With their willingness to try something new, I was able to create something that I feel really innovates and expands on best practices for education around contemporary art.
What theoretical lens informed this project?
Some of the theory I was looking at was associated with engagement and experience. Similar to stories, audio walks have the enduring ability to capture one's attention and engage it uniquely. Husserl and Bachelard's conceptions of phenomenology play a role in this research and practice, specifically when we refer to reflection, first-person perspective and the kind of immediate reach of "the poetic image when it emerges into the consciousness as a direct product of the heart, soul and being of man, apprehended in his actuality" (Bachelard, 1964).
But also, I was looking at contemporary Canadian audio walk artist, Janet Cardiff and her understanding of phenomenology as connected to "user's experience." Cardiff uses simple and straightforward "technology to create a complex, virtual reality in which the 'real' becomes inseparable from the virtual" (Sohal, 2006, p. 73).
What other previous experiences have you had that led you to this field and this research?
It is hard to tell, at this point, what led me to this field and research. You know the old debate, which came first the chicken or the egg? I think the egg, for me, always comes before the chicken. I often have fully-formed pictures in my head and really just need others to enact them to make them real.
One experience that led me to this field and research was my involvement in the Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) Pre-Graduate School Internship last semester. My graduate mentor, Allison Clark, who now works in education at the Getty museum, worked with me on a multi-directional mentorship that engaged my passions. We crafted a syllabus and had a conversation in her office once a week. This informed everything I do and I am so thankful for this experience.
I can remember, after a reading about art and technology for a Visual Art Studies class and then having a conversation within a philosophy and criticism course, asking myself and my class, "How are we preparing future students?" It's not just technology as hardware anymore, it's culture. It's the way we communicate with one another and the environment that communication creates. For an educator, that becomes a question about the way we teach. So the question behind my research became: What drives today's students to participate in educationally purposeful activities? What I found was an emphasis on personalized experience among new technologies. The experience of an audio walk is immersive and engaging. Audio walks challenge the user's sense of ordinary. Although an audio walk can be administered as a group, the emphasis of personal cognition is a dynamic tool audio walks employ. As a result, students feel a personal sense of relevance with the curriculum.
In the video, you describe a gap between theory and practice in contemporary museum education. Could you explain?
I think the field of art education is always trying to bridge the gap between theory and practice. My research is in response to what I observed in this particular museum. Twenty first century skills such as problem solving, creativity and communication play a huge role in what art educators do. In conversation with those I had the privilege to work with at CMA, I realized there was a gap between the theories contemporary art draws upon and the actual engagement of the visitors. They were having different conversations entirely. The educator and/or the art historian is normally the filler of that gap, whether by leading tours, programming or holding guided discussions of the work. But I wanted to take it a step further beyond the traditional didactic texts that accompany works in a museum. Audio walks can be a combination of the sound from the actual surroundings overlaid with sounds from past experiences, movie soundtracks, musical instruments, narrative, etc. Audio walks allow the viewer to embody the experience in a variety of ways and not only receive information.
Additionally, the audio walk employs gamification as an engagement strategy. In the development of the audio walk, I used game-design elements and game-principles. Even something as simple as asking a young user to find all of the basketball hoops in a painting, can significantly increase the level of engagement with the work. At its heart, this research suggests the possibilities of reaching contemporary youth learners who are adept at technology and giving them a platform for learning through personal relevance.
Art and Art History Faculty Invited to Guest Lecture around the World
Thu. October 13, 2016
Design associate professor and assistant chair of the Department of Art and Art History's Design Division Carma Gorman, Studio Art professor Michael Smith and Art History associate professor Dr. Penelope Davies have each been invited to give lectures in their specialty areas this fall.
In early October, Gorman gave a lecture called "What's American About American Design?" at the University of South Carolina, North Carolina State University, and the University of Richmond. Gorman proposes a new way of defining "American design," identifying some of its distinctive traits, and argues that the national peculiarities of U.S. design are in many cases direct responses to the globally anomalous characteristics of U.S. laws and standards.
Associate professor Davies gave a paper at The Alternative Age of Augustus conference in Cuma, Italy. Her paper, titled "Augustus' Urban Renewal: Visionary or Derivative?", challenges the characterization of Augustus as a visionary (e.g Favro 1998). Davies argues for the role of Republican government in preventing a unified building urban 'program', and the reluctance of those magistrates charged with construction to commit themselves to far-reaching public building policies. The change of urbanistic approach, she contends, came not with Augustus but with Julius Caesar.
Transmedia Professor Michael Smith will be speaking alongside Brandon Zech, Assistant Editor at Glasstire, at Artpace in San Antonio about the changing role of the artists and the artist as curator. As the two identities have become increasingly linked, there is a fluidity in a what role you take in the art world. The discussion hopes to parse out how this came to be.
In Memorium: Adam Boley
Thu. October 13, 2016
On Sunday, September 4, 2016, our community suffered the loss of a faculty member and alumnus, Adam Boley (M.F.A. in Studio Art, 2016).
Boley graduated from our M.F.A. program in Studio Art the spring of 2016 and came to the Department of Art and Art History staff in the Fall semester as a lecturer in photography. During his time with the department, Boley assisted artist Ann Hamilton in the execution of her work for the Dell Medical Center, O N E E V E R Y O N E. "I have many very beautiful photographs of Adam from the photography sessions for Dell," writes Hamilton. "I think they capture—something in him, a lightness and weight, reflectivity, a humor. I watched him work with everyone we photographed, how he put everyone at ease and made the air lighter with his empathy. I will never watch a duck land down in water without thinking of him."
Boley earned his undergraduate degree in Photography at St. Edwards University in Austin. His work has been in numerous exhibitions, including those at Time Waste Management in Orlando, Florida (2016); The Mom Gallery, Austin; 60 Orange St, Providence, Rhode Island (2015); Locker 95, Austin (2015); and Pump Project Art Complex in Austin (2014).
He was born and raised on a ranch outside of Georgetown, TX, and his work reflects a connection to the landscape and history of the state. "Texas was a central character in his work," said Department of Art and Art History Chair Jack Risley. "He was able to channel the friction between its historic myth and its suburban present in work that captured both the serenity and violence of the rural landscape."
Service for Boley took place in early September in Georgetown, TX.

secondly, it says this bottle has 100 calories, however it also says it has 42g of carbs...so wouldnt that mean it contains 170 calories? there is no asparatame or sugar subtitutes listed on the label
Check the serving size - it could be just 100 calories per serving, and a bottle could have more than 1 serving. Be vigilant when it comes to reading labels or else you'd only suffer from it. :)
I don't necessarily recommend taking supplements if you can get it firsthand from food... however, if it helps you reach the daily requirements, I don't see why not.
I personally don't take them - I am too lazy to, and it's not a habit that I develop. I try to eat as healthy as I could though..
Take a good quality multivitamin, eat lots of whole foods (fruit, veg, fish, eggs, seeds) and ditch the sugar water.

The bodies of a man and a woman have been found after an explosion in a shed containing fireworks in Ecclerigg.
It is thought the two casualties may be firework technicians who had been booked to stage an evening display at a luxury property in Ecclerigg, Cumbria, off the shore of Lake Windermere.
They had joined around 70 guests who had gathered to mark the wedding of local insurance boss John Simpson and his partner, Nicole Rothwell, who were said to have married earlier in the week.
Witnesses and neighbours spoke of an "almighty bang" at about 3.15pm yesterday followed by a series of "smaller bangs and pops", with one comparing the initial sound to that of a wartime bombing.
A shed containing the fireworks erupted into flames and spread to another outbuilding and a parked car nearby.
Witnesses at the adjacent Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre said the noise of fireworks continued for about 20 minutes before firefighters arrived on the scene and doused the blaze.
The Tree Top Trek adventure centre at Brockhole was evacuated as a precaution with many families present, while staff ensured the site did not pose a fire hazard.
A joint inquiry into the cause of the fire has been launched by the police and the fire service.
Parts of the property - with the marquee still in place - were cordoned off today as forensics investigators attended the scene.
The cottage and other surrounding residences within the same grounds have private jetties at Lake Windermere.
The newlyweds were unavailable for comment.
It is understood that the two victims may not be identified for several days because of the severity of their burns.
Sources said that the remaining guests and workers at the reception were all accounted for and uninjured.
A spokesman for Cumbria Constabulary said: "Police are continuing in their investigation into a fire at Ecclerigg where two people died.
"Police were called at 3.35pm yesterday after a shed containing fireworks was on fire. A vehicle near to the shed was also damaged by the blaze.
"Two bodies, believed to be a male and a female, were found.
"Police and the fire service are investigating the circumstances that led to the fire."

WindPath Sailing is one of the most exciting business opportunities to hit the sailing community in the last ten years.
You don't need an office or large staff, because a WindPath base can be run from your home office.
It offers many benefits over other similar business models such as charter. Once you establish your member base you will have a monthly reoccurring income. You don't need to continually generate new business; their membership has a very low turnover rate. You can expect to make about $1,500 per month for every full boat in your fleet. Once you fill up your first boat with members you can begin to look for an owner-member who will make the down payment on your second yacht. The owner member program is one of the keys to the growth of your fleet that does not require a large capital investment.

I have Never understood the need for an external DAC anyway. Perhaps that's because I'm a Mac guy. If the computer comes with excellent audio in and out, and your iPod had the same DAC as in standalone CD players, why string up a chain of Christmas lights just to play a song?
Then you really need to head out there to your local dealer and audition some DACs the diffrence is HUGE.
No computer today comes with excellent audio.

I have an HP laptop these days with fabulous beats audio ... It's still an upgrade from my 5 year old Dell. Eventually I will bypass their annoying automatic volume gain control buried deep inside MickeySoft Windoze. I have it running Ubuntu via wubi to bypass beats awesomeness.
If you have a desktop with a good soundcard, or if a Mac's laptop audio card gets the job done I guess life is good .

I'm driving a high end screening room and listening room off a little Mac Mini. It's really all you need. HDMI out, straight into my Yamaha amp. Piece of cake. The analogue out sounds just as good.
Edited by bigshot - 8/15/12 at 10:38pm
Do you have a Mac? Because it isn't like with PCs. My Mac Mini A/V server kicks ass major league. I'd put it up against anything. It's designed to be an audio and video hub from the ground up. Plug and play.

Nope. I'm considering an iPad in the near term for somewhat portable (my Sansa Zip cuts it for portable for now.) I currently use a Netgear NeoTV550 to pump bits out of my NAS into my Yamaha RXV-663 via monoprice HDMI cables . My little ones get to use it more though... Pixar get's a lot of play time these days. At night got to keep it low, so it's just my laptop and my phones...
Maybe a DAC/amp in the future to improve on my laptop's sound card (though I have Total Bithead which I sometimes use), and some better phones. Leckerton UHA-6 mkII seems well regarded, we'll see...

I build my own PCs, I want a better sound card and/or external DAC just for the fact that most integrated sound chips on PC motherboards have poor shielding which picks up EM noise that you can actually hear with sensitive IEMs.

I pick up line noise from my onboard soundcard even with full-size headphones. Not the case with my dedicated sound card though.
So what you are saying is the DAC receives its clock from the computer. How exactly does it work? USB2.0 runs 488MHz and the DAC runs 44KHz. What if I have a USB1 or USB3, won't that really screw up the system?
Let's assume if indeed you get your clock from the computer. Let's say my music is recorded at 43KHz (there will be tolerance and I am exaggerating the difference) and you are running 44KHz. Won't that cause buffer under run?
People are confused by synchronous transmission and synchronous timing. Synchronous transmission is synchronous to a transmit schedule which gurantees bandwidth and latency that's important in real time communication. Synchronous timing refers to clock synchronization which is necessary to recover data.
Thanks for explaining this - so with synchronous adaptive transmission the DAC uses an [adaptive] control circuit to clock the PCM data output based on the average transfer rate, but the computer is in charge of clocking the data transmission to the USB device?
I think I did mix up synchronous timing with synchronous transmission.

If something runs counter to accepted and already proven theories it is the responsibility of the former to prove the existence and/or validity of the claim. Just as lack of proof doesn't necessarily imply falsehood, lack of proof to the contrary is not equivalent to truism.
If A is true and any such B contradicts A, proving B is true would mean A is untrue. Inductively if B cannot be proved true we can say A is true in the general case. If no arbitrary B can be produced we can say that A is true and B is false.
To me (correct me if I am wrong), to prove there is a difference in sound one would have to:
A) Show quantitatively that an average (working) USB cable is unable to transport data as well as a high end cable. This can be done through monitoring packets or otherwise. Since it is a digital signal it should be bit perfect, this is quite easily to verify unlike analog signal that can depend on the sensitivity of the testing instruments. If the data is verified as having no errors it is unequivocal proof that cables make no difference.
B) ABX testing with statistically valid sample sizes. Since with any statistical test even as n goes to infinity one cannot state with true certainty ABX testing is only useful if case A) is inconclusive. It A proves there is no data degradation or otherwise but ABX testing shows statistically valid differences the analytic solution will always take precedence over statistical and numerical methods.
This argument cannot be necessarily extended to analog signal because then you are limited by the accuracy and precision of measuring equipment.
Edited by TickleMeElmo - 8/16/12 at 6:34am
It's a PC thing I guess. I've never had a Mac that had EM interference. Even the very first AV Mac with audio in and out I had 15 years ago. Mac sound has always been as good as you possibly need.
Sighhh... A good USB cable really does sound better.... way better. This phenomenon isn't caused by bit errors. It goes beyond our expertise here to talk about it with any degree of authority. If the issue were simple bit errors, the difference between an average USB cable and a high-end USB cable would not be manifested as a loss in sound-staging, frequency response, dynamics, pace, (add your own here) and the subtle nuances that make music so enjoyable to us. If a most-significant bit error occurred, then such errors would result in a click/pop artifact. That not what happens between run-of-the-mill and high-end USB cables. If bit errors were responsible, the musical integrity would come and go, it would be intermittent. That doesn't happen either.
Please move past the theory and try it on a nice system... preferably not a Yamaha receiver. Go visit a good dealer (or perhaps find a nice company with a trial period), bring your nice $20 Belkin USB cable and ask them to swap it out with a really good USB cable. Start to finish, it should take less than 15 minutes (well maybe an hour, because like all of us who have done this, you'll go back and forth 3 times in disbelief)..If you have invested in computer-based music, and you don't do this, then you're leaving musical performance that you paid for on the table. That's sad... and that's why I took the time to share my experiences with all of you. Don't let the lack of explainable theory keep you stuck in the land of mid-fi. Once you hear the difference, you can enjoy your music more than ever, and then still go back and try to understand it... but good luck... you'll need it. If any of you really do take the challenge, then report back what happens. That would make me happy. Better yet, PM me as I don't expect to participate in this discussion any further..Bye guys. Happy Listening... I tried my best...

Great Pizza ! Best pizza in Duluth and best to eat it there so flavor is fresh. Great atmosphere and an icon of Duluth.
Quite simply, as good a thin crust pizza I've ever had --- and I've had a lot!
They do something so special the the crust and the sauce, you hardly notice the cheese or toppings. It's just that good. But they do offer great toppings, and the cheese quality is excellent. If you want more of a cheese presence, order...
Had to go to Sammy's for the pizza. Got the buffet at lunchtime for about 9.00 with a soft drink. Buffet had pizza, salad and pasta. The pizza and pasta were really good. Salad was nothing special.
We chose Sammy's due to some good reviews we read. We had a larger order but we still felt the total cost was a little expensive. But it was very good and we would recommend.
While spending the night in Duluth and getting ready to watch Monday Night Football, we stopped by Sammy's to have a quick meal. We ordered the Crew Special which was a sausage, pepperoni, mushroom with x cheese pizza. With it we ordered two mugs of beer for $3.00 each. The mug of beer was maybe 10-12 oz. - not very...
Stopped with the family on a trip to Duluth. Service was Excellent. We had cheese bread, Buffalo chicken pizza, and The Crew. Pizza was great loved the sauce and crust. Garlic cheese bread was average it lacked a lot of garlic flavor. I would eat there again.
The food was great as alway, they were busy but that got our Apps and food out in fast order! Would come here again.
We stopped in here before seeing a play at the Duluth Playhouse.
The food is excellent and the service is good. It's a very busy place, and the wait staff really hustled in between tables to keep up, but took their time at each table to greet and treat their customers well.
