I'd been watching the construction of what appeared to be an outdoor patio in the beleaguered Hawthorn (sic) Crossings strip mall with quite the anticipation. But last weekend when I saw the grand opening signs, with the slogan "Change in the Neighborhood" juxtaposed with more fried food, I have to admit I was a little disappointed. Boy was I wrong.
This morning I was supposed to go and run a 5k with the Irving Inquisition. I awoke after a mere four hours of sleep, took one look out the window at the pouring rain, and decided I wasn't quite that dedicated. I.I. on the other hand, kept true to his new-found commitment to fitness, and has the Northside 5k t-shirt to prove it. We joined up for a pancake breakfast fundraiser at the YMCA on Broadway and then bombed around for a bit.
All that not running made me famished, and it was time to check out the Louisiana Fried Chicken place...
