Rumors of I-Hop restaurant in Portland, Texas

I heard it from the rumor mill that there may be an I-Hop coming to Portland. This would be the construction next to Walmart (right hand side if you are headed north on the 181 feeder)

Thanks for the info anonymous!

Remember fellow bloggers that this site is pro business, but if you have a legitimate gripe feel free to post-I will also post opposing views as I did with Bad Brads BBQ.

I do not however post comments of a personal derogatory nature (I received some negative comments about the city manger several weeks ago-he seems to be doing a heck of job to me!)

Ink World Part II

Update on Ink World. They are still incompetent pinheads but they did refund my money.

Ink World Portland Texas

I would like hear how other's folks experiences have gone with the new Ink World at the HEB (in Portland Texas). So far I have not been impressed. They do not have their own ink refilling machine as of yet so there is a wait. The clerk promised it would be ready the next day after 5 PM.

I showed up at 7PM the next day-after leisurely closing his magazine / comic book- the booth attendant informed that...Oops there was no delivery from Corpus made today- please come back tomorrow. Finally, -the next day- IW called and let me know my cartridge was ready to be picked up.

I picked up my cartridge and took it home, opened the nicely boxed and sealed cartridge, only to realize that they had given me the wrong cartridge type. I was fairly perturbed at this point. I made the trek back to HEB and found no one at the Ink World booth. The clerk had left a hand scrawled sign posted that read -went home due to weather, leave cartridges with name and numbers- Which against my better judgment- I did.

When and if I get a replacement cartridge I was post the result! The refill only cost me ten bucks but I think I've spent $5 in gas so far!

Hu-Dat Portland Texas-Great Food and Service

I am happy to report that the Hu-Dat (in Portland Texas) did not disappoint . Dispite a long line my family and I where able to order and be seated within a reasonable amount of time (10 minutes). The service was friendly and the food was piping hot and tasty. Offering both Chinese and Taiwanese the menu selection is fairly diverse. If you live in Portland or just passing through I highly recommend it!
