Well, it's in Hillsborough, NC, about 10 miles north from Chapel Hill and Durham. Interesting community: plenty of university (Duke, UNC) influence and culture, but also plenty of rural heritage.

I've got some photos to post tomorrow.

One of the things we're considering is using the "James Pharmacy" that you'll see on the building front. Would "James Pharmacy Restaurant" be really wierd? You'll understand better when you see the building why it might make sense. The facade is lovely old glass and art deco lettering. Hard to compete with by adding new signs. There's also a Historic District Commission to deal with that would frown on our covering up this lettering.

I REALLY don't like the idea of using my name. What if something happens with my partner, and I, like Wally Amos, lose control of something that my name is on? Without sounding falsely modest ('cause I AM a good cook), I just don't feel comfortable with something named after ME.

The menu could on any given day include:
- Southern-style chicken and dumplings
- pierogie
- homemade lasagna
- tofu and corned beef reubens
- shrimp scampi
- patty melts

..so it's as hard to quantify the food aspect as it is the music!
