Q: Since we have two houses across the street we are working on I Applied for a credit card to get 5 off with purchases. After seven inquiries on my credit they said they couldn't verify my identity and declined the account. Called this store since this is where we do most of our business. Explained to the associate what the problem was and asked to speak with a manager. Was told he was busy, I asked for a call back. Never called, either never got the message or too busy. At any rate this is not how you earn my business. Lowes contracts the credit card out to some other company so that is not totally their fault, however no call from the manager (2 requests) is on them...one star. By the way seven hard inquires on your credit lowers your fico score and takes a while to fall off. Just a heads up....

Q: The Husband and I needed bikes. Why? Well, to ride to Luci's, of course! And how else would you take a ride to your favorite local coffee shop, but in a darling cruiser-type bike purchased from a cute little local bike shop? The service and selection at Sun Cyclery were top-notch. Adam was incredibly helpful on each of my (count 'em) 4 visits when deciding which bike to purchase. Since looks were my main criteria for choosing a bike, he made sure that I could deck out my new ride with a wicker basket and shiny bell. Does it get any better than that? I love love love my bike (as does the Husband) and just can't wait until the weather is suitable for showing off ... ahem... riding once again.

A: positive

Q: Had hoped it to be much better but as a good food lover, this makes it no higher than the mediocre level. Fried chicken was a little greasy and dry. French fries no better taste or texture than a bag of frozen fries from the supermarket stuck in an oven. If these were actually fried at The Diamond then someone should be overseeing food prep. Maybe too many put in the fryer at once? Corn muffin was inedible- stale and dry. Fried shrimp were very good, as the one bright spot. Also, service very capable and friendly. Maybe the burgers are great but I won't find out as I won't bother returning.

Q: The first time we went we thought it was "OK" The second time we thought hmmm not as good as the first time. We went today for the third time. It dropped again. INCONSISTENT food. Service has gone to horrendous. No one seemed to know what to do or what anyone else was doing.The owner (bald guy) has every sign that the business is wearing him out. Nice guy just whipped by the restaurant. Best of luck to a non chain / independent operator you just need to get it together. See it from your guest view point.
