Interesting places. I remember seeing Quantum Leap. I was joking with my friend about it when we went by. I mentioned about the TV show back in the 90s with the same name.

Did Teany reopen? I thought they were closed due to a fire or some such thing.

@Uraniumfish Good to know - I was planning on heading over there one day, but a message that they had closed was (and still is) posted on their website. I haven't been to that place in years, but as an off-again-on-again vegan I miss their breakfast scones.
