Four Words to Change Everything
By floor9 on Jun 14, 2006 in Central PA, Downtown
Over on TotalFark, we have this game we like to play called “four words”. The idea is to sum up your stance on an issue in exactly four words. Not under four words, not at least four words; exactly four words. It’s pretty popular every time it comes up, so I was thinking:
If you could tell any of the downtown owners / managers / developers anything, in exactly four words, what would it be? Try to be creative; “we need more parking” isn’t funny. Doesn’t have to be nightlife-related, either.Contractions count as one word. Go!

Cool thread, how about:

i’m going to probably burn every bridge i have by doing this:
from end to end:
noma: lost shaker of salt.
bourbon street: college is over, seriously.
the spot: another hiv test, please.
red door: the litebrite causes cancer.
sandwich man: pandhandlers, why beg here?
fisaga: spray tan faux pas.
tom sawyer: lose the poodle skirts.
cafe fresco: is anybody in here?
miyako: best japanese take away. (yes, i’m being nice for a change)
dragonfly: worst light jockey ever.
district: bathroom phone reception nightmare.
hardware bar: coyote ugly - hollywood poison.
eclipse: black sheep ’strobelite honey’ (listen and see what i mean…)
maxine’s: wealthy cougars gone wild.
kokomo’s: mystery fire next year?
ceolta’s: who are these people?
the quarter: finally! another sport’s bar.
south street tavern: no teeth? no problem!
…some places got off easy, some places were not mentioned. i’m sure i’ll hate on everything at some point. feel free to fill in the blanks

this is over four words, but the motto i’ve personally given to duke’s / g-man riverside is:
come for the disappointment, stay from the regret.

Yeah, Duke’s is a toal mess now and the quality/service suck. I have vowed never to return there after countless horrible incidents…there are only so many chances you can give a place…
When I am talking about many venues in HBG I sound like a broken record, don’t I? :(

I actually think Duke’s is pretty good. I’ve never had a problem there. See the new post for details!

Duke’s Riverside has THE VIEW, THE DECK, free and usually plentiful parking, and food that is as good as most places around Harrisburg.

Duke’s has my vote. In the eight or so years I’ve been eating there, I had one bad serving of food. But when you need a reliable, always-wins place to hang out for a summer afternoon / evening, it’s a win. In fact, it was about two years ago now, but I think we once spent a solid twelve hours there once.
