Problem: I found a beautiful BCBG dress on sale, but it was a bit too short for work. Mr. Wong was able to undo the large hem at the base of the dress, and duplicate the style of the raw-cut backwards hem by releasing the existing hem and re-sewing it two inches longer. The style matches the high-end style of the dress and looks absolutely perfect. He was exact on his estimation of time and charged an extremely reasonable fee, making this sales find an even better value, as I can wear it ANYWHERE, as its the perfect length. He did this hem three years ago and its still perfect, through several washes, ironing and wear. I highly recommend Mr. Wong.

Problem: It's always exciting to be able to support the local arts, particularly when it is associated with a big name such as Don Bluth. Mr. Bluth is known for directing animated films such as The Secret of NIMH, Anastasia and The Land Before Time. The Don Bluth Front Row Theatre is a little gem located in the corner of a strip mall at Shea and 101. My husband I and bought our $1I (regular price $23) tickets from Goldstar of Oliver!, the first show in the theater's new space. The clapboard signs led us to an nondescript theater space with a very eager and welcoming staff to hand us our programs and show us to our seats. The single theater was in a black-box sized, theater-in-the-round. While we waited for curtain we noticed the fine tuning of the theater with snips of loose threads and spot-cleaning of upholstery, supervised by Mr. Bluth, and what I assumed to be, the very friendly theater manager. The intimate theater seats about 100 people (with a few in folding chairs... I hope those were comp. tickets) and the performance we saw was set on a 3/4 thrust stage against what looked like a drop-cloth backdrop. Unfortunately, prior to the show we could hear what cast or crew behind the curtains-- breaking the illusion of the forth wall. The seating however was clean and comfortable. As this is not a review of the show (which was quite delightful!) I will limit this mainly to the theater company. For better or worse, due to the limited space, the audience is incorporated into the show. Being just inches away, the cast has to be aware of audience members' outstretched legs but it was a unique eexperience to be so close to the character. Most impressive were the high-quality costuming and lighting. The costumes were some of the most detailed and well-made that I've in local theater. The lighting was professional as well. While the actors had to work at projecting, it was nice to have performers that didn't need to me miked. Overall, the experience was well worth it. There is something very special about being a part of an expanding theater company. I look forward to many more performances and watching this company grow.

Problem: allow me to compare fukuburger truck in the realm of food-trucks. growing up in L.A. county, that city is swarming with food trucks. but i've never actually experience one like this before. the oriental gourmet of street culinary experience. a trifecta of chopsticks meet bun, bun meets wheels, wheels meet china town. you know that acronym? BYOC: bring your own chair. or you can stand and practice your hold-plate while eating primitave style. the line gets pretty long, so the thing about one man taking the order and sending it in can take a hot minute. hot in vegas espeicially near the exhaust of the truck. i can feel my legs melting. the wait can bring bond time with the kids i came with or chat it up with the owners, or even chat with some new face. whichev'. the first burger i tried was the "tamago" pretty challenging to eat. super delish and juicy but equally sloppy. mac salad was pretty creative, the toppings gave it texture- which i love in food. and the shaved ice is served in the generous amount. ive had good times here with friends and fam and good music. i guess the parking lot gave lasting memories. good thing they're open late, in case im craving a good quality burger.

Problem: Classic Tempe location should not be confused with quality food. Bad chips, chicken cheese crisp was mostly salt, guacamole tasteless, and did I mention too much salt. Service however was great!
