donkey boy, did you go to the "halal" cart and get some good food or what?
Yup. No Ramadan discount though and the line was still crazy, but it was pretty frickin good....and thats coming from a guy that considers himself a street meat connoisseur.
Im actually thinking bout writing a Sheckys/Zagats type book. As soon as I finish the Korean massage parlor guide Im currently researching.
You should put "street meat" and Korean massage in the same book, i think they are close cousins.
You know, here in Fall River we have this giant boat under the Route 195 "Braga Bridge" across the Taunton River Estuary/Mount Hope Bay. It's the USS Massachusetts, or "Big Mamie". It's great. My friend had his mom bring us there the day after his sleep over birthday party. If there is such a thing as being hung over on watermelon Funny Face and Oreo cookies, this was it. He and I were walking around below decks and found a way to enter the non-tourist area of the ship. We found an 10' x 10' 80 foot shaft while clambering around! There was change at the bottom, but it was too difficult to get down to it.
My sister worked there in the summer during high school and went and passed a Class E driver's license test so she could drive the tour buses.
Fall River is still a sporadiclly active port. Once in a while one hears a foghorn. There are a few fishing boats; New Bedford, which normally finishes in the top 3 in USA fish tonnage per year, is just 20 min away on the highway.
A few years ago there were about 1,000 yellow school buses parked on a pier from all over the East coast and Canada; eventually they were driven onto a Lima ship for sale in South America.
