a contest you don't want to win

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

if you’ve walked around much at all, you’ve surely noticed there are two or three street corners you want to avoid at all costs. not because they’re dangerous (i’m still of the opinion there are very few places in the woodlands that are dangerous in the least) or because they’re unpopular. but because to wander past these is to loose the ability to breathe for a minute or two. you know what i’m talking about.

in first place is the southwest corner of lake robbins drive and six pines road. i don’t know what it is, but i was really hoping that they would have fixed it when they rebuilt the pavillion. i swear to god it smells like somewhere just below the surface or behind the trees there is a conglomeration of all the septic tanks and all the food waste from the pavillion, and all the dead fish from the waterway. and it only got worse after the rebuilding. maybe that’s part of the problem with keeping a restaurant on the southeast corner; if you dine outside and the wind is right, you can smell it over there, too. you aren’t even safe in your car! i’ve developed a habit now of ensuring my sunroof is closed and my a/c is set on recycle when i drive by there.

a close second to this would be in the parking lot just behind cafe express and grotto. somehow, despite the fact that it’s only the dumpsters for two restaurants vs. the several that dump across lake woodlands drive behind p.f. chang’s, walking though the parking lot to go to either of these restaurants can surely make you loose your appetite altogether. and maybe even make you gag.

please, for the sake of our noses and appetites, figure out some way to get these horrifying odors expelled. if you want us to walk around and enjoy the scenery, you have to make it pleasant on all the senses.
