This works for restaurants (non-fast food types) as well. If the lot is full of cars with local tags, chances are it's quite good. The local folks know. That works for us in Tennessee and even worked on our 1999 world tour in Brienz, Switzerland. :)

David Sanborn RIP on alto sax.

The writing is first-person and delightfully done. Mr. Clemens writes in five Missouri dialects and his disclaimer reads: "The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity with these...
