Sounds as if you have a good replacement. If my memory serves me correctly, isn't Guide Meridian where Costco is located? There's a little brewpub off of Guide Meridian on the other side of the freeway from Costco that I remember, but I forget the name.<BR/><BR/>Hugh, I've actually been to St. David's, Wales. It's located at the very southwest tip of the country. I was there at this time of year many years ago and it was cold, wet and windy. Visiting remote castles in that kind of weather is pretty cool, though, because I was imagining what it would have been like to have lived in those castles in those conditions centuries ago.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359746462038374457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-91113992521769811772009-03-04T13:52:00.000-08:002009-03-04T13:52:00.000-08:00Dave-Tube Time is no longer...However a new venue ...Dave-Tube Time is no longer...However a new venue opened off of Guide Meridian Road.
