Happy New Year, welcome "2010"

Well 2009 sure was a doozy and Painesville saw quite a bit during the past 365. I only hope that this message reaches you well and all have a good and prosperous 2010. Enjoy your life for what you are given, it is too short and will pass you by if you don't grab on tight. Love the one's around you and treat yourself well. Don't spendd all of your short timee on this earth hating and being the person no one wants to be around, except for the other miserable people in this world. I pray that they may someday see the light and realize that they spent there good days here on earth with too much negativity, just my two cents for what it is worth. Happy New Year!!!

Second run at Jalepeno Loco

I went to JL again and was even more impressed this time. I got the Burrito Loco. Big and impressive and well priced. The taste was great and the Pico DiGalo was awesome. I would recomend that if you go ask for the homemade hot salsa for the chips annd use it sparingly. I love the hot food and this has a great chili flavor, you can taste the smoked peppers. Staff was friendly and everything was very good this time. I sat in the dining room this time to move from the flat screens and that a more intimate dinner for us.

The New Jalepeno Loco

I ate At Jalepeno Loco on Saturday night and found it to be very similar to the Mentor location. I was happy with the food, I got Burrito's Mexicana. Very good taste and the athmosphre was good. It is a classy joint for those that have been down there, it looks much as it did before with a few Mexican touches. Service was good. I ate in the bar area and the only item that I would suggest to the management to change was the TV selection. I have kids and understand that they need to be entertained. They had a flat screen TV playing "iCarly", from the Disney channel. It was a bit loud and dominated conversation.

Other than that, the food was great and the staff was good as well, very attentive. I will be back as long as they are still here. I do worry that the place is too big for this type of food fare in this location. I feel that they would do better with a smaller place not costing so much to run. Hopefully the word gets out there and they do well. Good Luck JL, JT

Downtown Painesville Recreation Area

This sounds very interesting to say the least. I looked at the proposal and think that creating this new type of district is a good thing. It surely seems to be a forward thinking plan that has taken into effect many things. Check out the website for a downloadable pdf version of the plan and leave some feedback as to what you think about it.
