Karen and Barry's (owner should be ashamed)

[Gatto Nero]

It's funny how things can work out on this site sometimes. For whatever reason, I have never been to Karen and Barry's. I know where they are but just never got around to it. But now, because someone posted a complaint and the owner did a great job of explaining the situation on this forum, I will probably be more inclined to give them a try next time I'm looking for some good Italian.

The same kind of thing happened recently with Forever Bonnie. Some may recall that someone went out of their way to criticize the business in this thread. In her mind I guess it was justified, but whatever. Bonnie never responded herself because, as I later found out, she had no idea this forum even existed. Anyway, I read all the responses and saw no reason why I would not patronize Bonnie's business if I ever got up the chutzpa to get a tattoo. Well, I finally did recently (maybe because of that thread) and the only place I knew of around here, because of that thread, was Forever Bonnie. I stopped in without an appointment. She was with another client but said she could fit me in in an hour or so. I came back an hour later, gave her an idea of what I wanted, she drew something up on paper, I liked and she did it. I was out of there about an hour and a half later with my first tattoo. She did great work, btw.

I also plan on jumping out of an airplane with Tom Noonan someday too. That probably would not have happened if Flyguy had not started his rant on this thread either. I bet in the end that thread will prove to have been a boon to not only Skydive Laconia's eventual business profitability but the likelihood of it even getting to going in the first place.

Go figure.
