La Curva is still the clubhouse leader in the “Mexican restaurant you’d go to in Salina with other people from Salina” category.

Fresnillo good, place they opened up in that cursed Sunset Plaza location with similar name but more gringo’y that i think has already come and gone was terrible (not in a snob way, just sucked complete ass and taint)

I think the most cursed location in town is the south intersection of Broadway & Ninth. I think it’s been 6 different things since Key Mar’s closed 25 years ago.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

Yes the second one he opened was not good. He was never there and it has since closed. La Curva is a slightly better version of La Fiesta.

Salina has a great Jamaican restaurant downtown … never mind. Just checked and it’s permanently closed.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

We always enjoyed Jaslisco up across from Kohls. La Curva wasn't bad tho.

Also after moving away, I've really missed Mokas
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

La Casita is still great.
Man... Haven't thought about that place for a long time. Took a date there circa 1996.

Took all the kids to The Alley. $20 for bowling, the VR thing, & laser tag was a pretty good deal.

Time to put the kids to bed and head over to Big Nose Kate's for a night cap

Went to Central Mall between lil kids basketball games to try and unlock some core memories from childhood. Sbarros gone. Aquarium shuttered. Incredibly bleak scene.

Yeah. Made me miss Rusty’s Outdoor Sports. Santa Fe area seems nice. HD Lee Mill in north Salina has been demolished.

Give it a month and they’ll be back on their “open when we feel like it” schedule.

I can’t even imagine the phone call that would be booking a private party there.

The city is spending over $500k on legal fees fighting a mural on the side Cozy Inn saying it violates city signage ordinance.
