Yes unfortunately our zoo in Wilmer isn't too great. You just have to know that the guy does all he can. I, personally, am good friends with the owner and have helped out there in the past. I say that we move it down here (Orange Grove) with nicer facilities and then add on to the collection (more exotics, endangered animals?) Even though zoos do take up a large amount of space, I think it could be incorporated into the Orange Grove area up to the creek with additional attractions (Riverwalk, stadium, Atlantic Stn type place...?).
In other news, I was downtown today. Ate at Buck's (really good, by the way), then walked down to Three George's and got a few goodies (they were doing a little work to the outside, I think adding additional smaller signs) and then walked around some more. Even for the odd time I was down there (ie not lunch-time), there were plenty of people walking around/ relaxing in the park (no, not the homeless)/ hanging out in Three George's. But here's the news: Hopjacks is open! I didn't know that they had, and I don't think anyone on here has said that they were. The menu was mostly pizza and bar food; I'll have to try it some day.
