There’s often water there — not sure what it’s from. And that stretch gets very little sun in the winter, so that’s of course what keeps it frozen.

I guess this post didn’t provide much additional information. Sorry about that, but it’s all I got.

If it’s blocked off, then Public Works are likely the ones doing it. And since it’s less than a block from the temporary PD office, I’m sure they know about it also. And, since the firefighters shop at Baby Kroger, they’ve probably seen it also. That still doesn’t answer what’s causing it.

It should be drunk from a copper pipe with one end capped off. Charge even more for the stainless version, because it looks cool and shiny. Like a yard of beer, but a pipe of distilled stuff.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the frozen right lane on Commerce, eastbound, by baby Kroger?

On and off for the last 3+ weeks, the lane has been flooded and frozen solid, and then blocked off. But on other days it is fine, so the problem doesn’t seem continuous, but does seem random and recurring. The water appears to becoming from Dekalb Medical (but it is not clear). It doesn’t look like a public works problem, though I may send the city an email on Monday just in case they really don’t know about it.

Agreed. We always tip 10% minimum, and up to 20%, depending on the complexity of the order, how busy the restaurant is, how accommodating they are, etc…

Probably 10% if the cashier is putting the order together, because I believe they make a non-server wage, but if the waiter has to as is often the case then it is taking time away from their attention to their tables who probably will be tipping 20%, and we are a “table” that they won’t get because we ordered take-out. In addition, the cooks and bus folks also are involved and may share in tips.
