Q: CROOKS! Do not work with them! Everything seemed fine and dandy. Till I moved in. They made a video of the home, making it look beautiful and since I was searching from out of state, it seemed like they were so helpful. And then I got to the house. Discovering it hadn't actually been cleaned in 8 months. There was so much wrong with it. They lied to me about the condition and the HORRIBLE neighborhood it was in!
Then when I tried to get out of it they took $900 and said it was non refundable.
As soon as I said we didn't want to live there they stopped the kind service and stopped caring and stopped responding.
Not worth it!

Q: I went a few days ago to test the waters out. I sometimes live in a box and had never heard of "Crossfit" before. I've worked out in a traditional gym environment all my life and am currently seeking something to mix it up a bit.

Matt (one of the co-owners) gave me a great introduction of the facility and concept behind "Crossfit". I left feeling fully informed on what I could expect if I decided to join their program. He was friendly and energetic. I was on the tail end of a long day and probably could have been a bit more excited rather than so tired.

I would generalize this as a "Burst-Workout" if I could pick a description. Try to do as much as you can in the least amount of time. Its a very unique angle to approach fitness in my opinion. I could see a benefit in training like this to many degrees.

I would highly suggest this training for:

Pre-Academy
Fire Fighters
Military Prep
Triathlon Conditioning

I have absolutely no doubts that if you train here first you will be more than ready to pursue an aggressively fit demanding career or challenge.

As for me personally it was too intense. My days are too long to summon the energy needed for these types of workouts. Although in a parallel universe where I'm 5 years younger and I had less to focus on I'd be there every day!

Q: Have I really never reviewed Lo-Lo's? Seriously??

This morning, Dottsy, Robert M and I headed for SoDo (is that what the hipsters are calling the area just south of downtown?) for some chicken and waffle perfection. Lo-Lo's hits the mark on everything: my gravy and onion covered chicken was all sorts of awesomeness, the waffles were golden brown loveliness, the greens were bang on, the mac and cheese a creamy blissful experience, the red beans and rice were smartly appealing and the fried okra was splendid happiness. Sure, we ordered a lot of sides, but we wanted to be fair.

Lo-Lo's was like a religious experience--Sunday service was being played on the radio, there were babies crying, their food is also served in Heaven (or at least that's keeping me focused on the afterlife).

As well as being perfectly filled with some of the best food ever, we also had a marketing brainstorming session. The first was a tour of some great soul food restaurants using Metro and make it into a UYE. Its name? Pause for dramatic effect: The Soul Train. Something else came up but we're keeping a tight lid on that project.
