If you go to a buffet restaurant thinking “quantity over quality”, you’re much less likely to be disappointed with the experience. Such was the case with our recent visit to Hao Wah, a Chinese restaurant with a buffet-focus on S. Dale Mabry. We were in the mood for Chinese this past Friday night, [...]
Traffic was snarled last night around 8:30pm (Tuesday) on Hillsborough Avenue as a westbound car careened across the median, three lanes of oncoming traffic, a light pole, a FENCE, and impacted in our apartment building and into a neighbor’s kitchen.
