My kiddo's don't run around the tables, etc... But a toddler is only going to be so quiet and if you're setting next to us, she's likely to talk to you and "disturb" your otherwise peaceful dinner. If it bothers people, obviously I discourage her from speaking to them... but over all, I'm not going to tell my child to not be friendly and socialize with people. I don't feel the need to squash her...

I agree that Berryhill's is not a jungle gym, but the original comment was more sweeping than that. The patio is not for people to do anything "without kids crawling around". My kids aren't in the toddler range anymore, but I think a patio invites a looser approach toward children. No one wants a kid running around a table, but toddlers are going to run back and forth to that fountain. There's no way to stop...

Your tone was the source of my comment, not your class. Your post fairly cries out that you have never had children and will get a rough shock if you ever do. [/quote] You make many assumptions when you really don't know anything about me. QUOTE (darva @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 @ 1:41pm) That doesn't mean that I "passively parent" in any way. The word I used was...

QUOTE (houstonray @ Thursday, November 27th, 2008 @ 9:39am) Anyone heard what's up with that? The gorgeous Woodland Heights "Wilson" home on Bayland Ave (205 Bayland for those wanting to look it up on HAR) is for sale. The owners just finished remodeling the former halfway house barely 2 years ago and were going to be there a long time and now they are selling. Also, $2.5 million seems a little...

Nice thought. I Moved my house . The building was of 1946 construction and remains 55’ long by 34’ wide. The structure weighed some 225 tons (450,000#), roughly half a million pounds, the two story, brick veneer structure had to be moved some 165’ from its original lot to another contiguous property and raised some 20’ higher than it had been. here is the picture of this move.

QUOTE (THElibrarian @ Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 @ 4:06pm) This is why we stopped going to Berryhill. If you want your kids to "go nuts" I suggest you take them to McDonalds or Chik-fil-A. The patio at Berryhill is for people to enjoy their meal and drinks without kids crawling around. Last time we went there, we were joking that they should just put in one of those cages with the colorful balls. There...

Good Afternoon All, hope your week goes well! Just seeking some ideas,opinions, or input for those with and without kids. What are some kid/toddler friendly restaurants with above average food in the Heights ? Does this debate now lead to the question Inner City vs Suburbs ? Are there a lot more kid/toddler friendly restaurants and places in the suburbs as oppose to the inner city ? Is this why many with kids leave for the suburbs to...

QUOTE (THElibrarian @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 @ 12:14pm) Wow, from the responses I'm getting I guess that it is now acceptable let children run around restaurants while other patrons are dining. I'm seeing this permissive parenting style more and more often. I just wasn't raised that way. While in a restaurant, we sat at the table and ate. We were not allowed to "run around." You need...

Arne's is CLOSED?? Oh no! Yeah, I agree - Party Boy isn't as good.

QUOTE (tanith27 @ Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 @ 9:55am) I went to Bedford this past weekend. Very nice. Entrees about $30 each, but you can get 3 and 4 course meals where you can make your own from the list of appy's/entrees/desserts on the menu. Quality is A+, quantity is minimal. Dont expect to walk away from there with a full stomach....heck, you might even walk away hungry. My $30 entree was...
