      Is that an acronym for a city, like NOLA? Is it “Hole” misspelled? Is it a gay rights rainbow thing?

      Oh wait, it’s Spanish for Hello! I get it now.

      Well, then, hello! right back at you.

        I’d be willing to bet that was a lot funnier inside your head than how it sounds reading out loud.

          I’ve told him to stop trying but he just won’t listen ;-)

          I’m curious to know which part offended you. That way, I’ll know how to target my “humor” to your sensibilities. Or if you’re just having a bad or humorless day, let everyone know so that they can temper their posts to account for your mood of the moment.

          Have a nice day.

          I dunno. Sounded funny to me.

          Can’t wait to see the menu.

            Not funny. Republicans are only funny when they are you betcha Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann funny! Silly North American liberals.

      There’s evidently something about this location that inspires in-your-face decor! As one of th few who was ok with the faux blue marble look of the Decatur Diner because it reminded me of the beach, I like this too because it’s so FRIENDLY!

      I think Hola is cute.

      I love it. But now I really want a Lifesaver.

      Is this the restaurant’s name? I foresee telephone hilarity.

      Along with the other renovations, looks quite good. Carry on…

      I picture young teen hooligans getting on the roof, moving the “A” to the front of the word followed by the exclamation point turned on it’s side.

      • J_T says:
        January 29, 2013 at 3:43 pm

        Also, if the Mexican thing doesn’t work out, they can buy another A, reverse the HOL, and start filling the longstanding Hawaiian void in the downtown dining scene.

          Another good one. Yum, pupus and beer.

      There needs to be a huge mural on that tacky beige wall.

    10. Nova says:
      January 28, 2013 at 4:25 pm

      Hope the food is better than the sign.

    11. Moderate says:
      January 28, 2013 at 4:36 pm

      I will not prejudge the restaurant, and I am hopeful it will be good, but that sign looks like it belongs on a bouncey house for my 4 year old or some toddler attraction.

      It gets your attention, but not in the same way as those inflatable wavy men outside the used car lot grand opening.

    12. Peripatetian says:
      January 28, 2013 at 4:43 pm

      ¿Shouldn’t that be “¡HOLA!”?

      • At Home in Decatur says:
        January 28, 2013 at 4:52 pm

        ¡Claro que sí!

    13. Old Man Potter says:

      They got rid of the marble paint and that ugly green awning, so let’s cut them a little slack.

      I’m reserving any praise until I see if they’ll serve tripe soup and brain or cabeza tacos, or if they’ll just serve the same old stuff you can get everywhere else.

        Brains…BRAINS…
        Hey, at least it might keep kids out.

          Good luck with that. Mexican menu and that sign suggest “KID FRIENDLY”

            Los Muertos Vivientes…

              Voy a hacer ahora acerca de zombies, pero mis hijos me dan ganas de apagar mi cerebro.

    15. At Home in Decatur says:

      The font style, size, and colors suggest not just kid-friendly, but BOISTEROUS kid-friendly! Spanish starts in preK in CSD. I can just imagine 4-7 year olds running around shouting, “¡HOLA, Señor! ¿Como estás? ¡HOLA, HOLA, HOLA!” (Breaks into rendition of La Bamba.)

    16. Bulldog says:

      Looks like it’s going to be a mix of a restaurant and a Party City.

        Good one.
