Just heard from Joe Russell that his new place, Russell's at 4111 Stone Way (Russell's Opening on Stone Way) is still waiting on some permits, and his grand opening has been pushed back a week to next Friday, March 21st. Please standby.
No doubt there will be much bacchanalian up and down 45th Street, down Stone Way and up into Tangletown over the next few days, what with St. Patrick's Day coming up this Monday, March 17th.

I hear that some parents exist who possess an inner knack for parenting that transforms them into "baby whisperers" once they become mothers or fathers.
