Shops at San Miguel Ranch

Since I'm fully convinced I have nothing to write in my blog, I will talk about the new strip mall going in right below us.

We already have the Starbucks opened, but there are quite a few other interesting shops opening up soon.

Tomorrow morning, there is going to be the grand opening of the Sports Clips store. Megan likes to call it Hooter's Haircuts. It's a haircut place for men. Each stall is supposed to resemble a sports locker and there is a TV playing sports, or Sportscenter, and the whole place kind of looks like a locker room (I peeked inside tonight). By checking out the website, they'll hire good looking women that resemble cheerleaders wearing warm-up suits to cut your hair. Part of the package is they'll give you a "massaging shampoo" and wrap a warm towel around your face when they're done. Then they massage your neck and shoulders (albeit with a massage wand) and then on to the haircut. Now if it just included chicken wings, we'd be set!!!

Another new place that just opened up within the last few days is the Mexican food restaurant. This is our first fast food Mexican joint in the Eastlake area. I might just have to try it out in the next couple of days to see if it is worthy. There is also going to be a sushi place, a pizza joint, an Albertsons (can't wait for that!!!!), a nail salon, a cleaner, an Italian restaurant, a couple banks, and finally...

A SPORT'S BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really looking forward to this. I'm not a huge fan of bars, but a sport's bar is perfect! Beer and anything sports (soccer is communism, and I will watch Paper, Rock, Scissors if I have a good beer) is absolutely just what the Eastlake area needs.

Since I run sports leagues, I have a vested interest in sports, in general. I always have people asking me where they can go to have a beer after the game and I have to send them out of the area. Now, with this place opening up (actually called Time Out Sports Grille) I can tell them to just go down the street and I'll meet them there!!! I like to call it networking. Maybe I can convince my supervisors to let me knock a few back on the clock. Anyway, I hope it doesn't turn out to be a dump with terrible watered down beer only (or as Mars Hill church reps would call it...feminine beer).

All in all, I'm glad everything's starting to open up soon. I'll let you know how to the haircut goes!
