There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Perhaps the places under discussion should be listed here.

Scott and I are going to check out the Duluth Diner tomorrow if it fits his schedule.  Anyone want to join us?

Scott wasn't able to go to the Duluth Diner today so Tegan and I went.  The place is neat and clean and quiet.  Not overly busy at our meeting hour, but the manager says it varies.  He says he can accommodate us, but if we have a large attendance, we may have a short wait.  That shouldn't be a problem with our normal attendance up to a dozen members. 

Tegan had the child's menu spaghetti and meatball.  It was an adult size serving.  I had the fried catfish.  Comes with a soup or salad and a vegetable.  Only about a buck more than the same meal at The Galaxy Diner.

Parking space?  Visibility/exposure?

Easily accessible from main roads for attendees?

The Duluth Diner sits on a major thoroughfare, running between Gainesville and Atlanta.  Side lot parking and highway frontage parking.  Until one learns the layout of the next door businesses, coming southward they will need to make a U-turn to get into the parking lot. 

Pleasant Hill Road from the south comes from I-85 and Peachtree Industrial from the south comes from Atlanta and I-285.  From Pleasant Hill, turn left on Howell Ferry and come across the parking lot of the Family Medicine building next door to avoid the U-Turn.

So is it Duluth Diner or JR's?
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

I didnt mind JR's It was 1 hour each way to get there.  And there was a lot of room for us.  And it appears it will be 1 hour each way  to the Dinner and I assume it is the same type of menu .  So it doesnt matter to me which place......

It was decided that we would meet again at JR's for the February meet and then pick another location to try.  I was going to suggest Duluth Diner for March.

The Duluth Diner isn't anything like JR's.  The menu is more like The Galaxy Diner with a wide variety of foods. 

Duluth Diner is 8.7 miles north on Peachtree Industrial Blvd from JR's.

Just a thought, but it would be interesting to get the opinions of these establishments on the club having meetings there.  Some places tolerate such things, while other places welcome them.

I spoke with the owner/manager.  I told him I may bring the club one Saturday, and if they chose the restaurant, it would be a regular monthly thing.  He was in approval.

Did it taste a buck better?
