rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - I stayed at the KC MO Embassy Suites hotel for an evening last week. Half the battle is just finding this hotel. It is located near a section of town that has street laid out on a different angle than the predominant N/S - E/W pattern. So if you arrive...

Dick's Last Resort - Where Adults Can Act Like Kids (or immature sophmores)

Thu, 8 Jan 2004 14:59:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - First buying beware - Dick's Last Resort is all about the "atmosphere", not the food. Do not go to Dick's if you demand that everything be "just so", that your steak better not be one iota over medium-rare, and your waiter have a tuxedo. If you on the...

Mon, 20 Oct 2003 18:50:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - These balls are listed in two categories, thus two reviews. I am an avid golfer, a 14 handicap that plays 18-27 holes a week from May through October, and sneaking in a few rounds on the fringes of the playing season here in Central Illinois. I have pl...

Wed, 1 Oct 2003 14:37:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - In my review of the St. Ignace Comfort Inn, I promised a review of the St. Ignace Quality Inn. While these two hotels are part of the Choice Family of hotels, and are both located in Bus. I-75 in St. Ignace - they are definitely not in the same league. I...

Party Blast is too Blasted Frustrating for My Rugrats

Mon, 27 Jan 2003 13:12:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - First off - there are several levels that are hidden until they are unlocked, and frankly I'm not going to invest that kind of time. Thus, this is not a complete review.

This review will instead focus on what you get when you open the box...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - I came across "The La's" in 1992, and have been stuck on this album ever since. I never go for more than a few weeks without giving it a listen. Perhaps I'm stuck in a time warp, but this album sounds as fresh today at the end of 2002 as it did a decade...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bake65 - I said I wouldn't do it again, but I did it. I just paid $ to play perhaps what is becoming the worst course in Sangamon County. What makes it so frustrating is the course has a good layout, is on a relatively scenic lake, is convenient to get to, and...
