It's worth going for sure.<BR/><BR/>As for the Inland Empire: There is indeed one in the greater LA region that you don't know about, and I lived there for 6 1/2 years! In fact, Wikipedia says there are three "Inland Empires" in the US - the one in SoCal (that I know), the one in the Pacific NW (that you're from), and one in northern Georgia (Atlanta is the big city there - hmmm, would that be NoGA?). The one I know has Riverside and San Bernardino as its big cities. It's not known for its culinary achievements. Foodwise, my IE's biggest claims to fame are its century-old citrus industry and its being the birthplace of McDonald's (THAT'S something to be proud of!)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064972052546768332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312492.post-27708085750642572272007-12-30T16:11:00.000-05:002007-12-30T16:11:00.000-05:00Speaking as a proud native of the Pacific Northwes...Speaking as a proud native of the Pacific Northwest, I have to inform you that southern California is not in any way part of the Inland Empire, unless it's a way, way different one that I don't know about. The Inland Empire usually refers to Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and parts of Oregon and Montana. At least the one I know about does. ;)<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm SO going to Petit Louis as soon as I can convince Don to spend the money. Dogwood sounds awesome too.<BR/><BR/>The one thing I hate about Halethorpe is that there just aren't any actual restaurants. Everything else about living here is awesome, but to actually eat anything we always wind up going to Columbia (because we are too lazy to try to find parking in the city).Jamailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015931745292652553noreply@blogger.com
