"CLOSE" in distance only;)

Right after the hurricane I may have had something from the taco truck, but too long ago for me to remember. They do seem to have a lot of spanish/honduran etc business....

Re: Webster's Restaurant

Hobbes, Hope I wasn't confusing! I meant, if you wanted to try Webster's, try it. (I would if I was curious) I haven't been to Russell's in a while, but there is one waitress who oddly only gives 2 choices for a side, when there are others (fries, sweet potato fries, etc) If you ever go, I'd suggest...
