  1. Make sure to set aside 2 tickets for JP Paulus.

    He can start putting his money where his mouth is.

  3. Why two tickets?

    Is JP going to be bringing his ego along?

  4. Would he bring his wife?

    Perhaps he can bring his senior pastor if the wife won't step foot in the neighborhood.

  8. I've got to agree with Christopher. I got off the train yesterday and nearly just walked over there for dinner, it smelled so good.

  9. I've noticed when eating there that they have been nice enough to display post cards advertising the Uptown banner program along with their carryout menus. It is nice to see that they support the community is the way that they can as a new business just struggling to get started.

  10. Tried Demera last night. Good food, friendly and accommodating staff. Plus the interior is way more appealing than that of the restaurant that was there previously. Great addition to the intersection and to the neighborhood in general.
