Subway Lounge Page on Wikipedia



I was going through some old pictures I'd taken on my camera phone and ran across a couple I'd taken when visting the former site of the Summers Hotel and Subway Lounge.  I noticed there was no Wikipedia page for it, so the link is to the page I created.  First time I tried creating a Wikipedia page, although I made an edit to the U-Verse page once that has since been removed after seeing an article in the Clarion Ledger that the service was coming to Jackson.

I actually only went to the Subway Lounge once.  Jeff showed me the place back probably sometime in the 1998-2000 timeframe.

I remember back when they were wanting to tear it down there was an effort to save it, ultimately unsuccessful that made the papers.

I found a blog entry of someone from back in 2005 that said Subway Lounge would be re-opening as part of the Farish Street Entertainment District, which was the first time I'd heard that.  I've also heard that a B.B. King Blues Bar would be there, and I doubt both would ever come to fruition.  Heck, I'm not sure if anything will ever happen on Farish Street.  You never know though, since the King Edward is actually being renovated now.

Chess again

This past summer I played in a regular rated chess tournament (a team event) for the first time in 8 years. Last time I took a long break (although not this long), it took me about 9 months to put my game back together. I'm about 5 months in this time and while my results aren't showing it yet, I can tell I'm starting to figure some things out. My confidence is definitely improving, but I don't have any swagger yet. Might take good results to bring that back. After such a long layoff, just remembering to make your moves properly, write down your moves, and hit your clock is a challenge. Some things have definitely changed that I'm adjusting to. The fashions in openings are quite different. A lot of white systems seem to feature a queenside fianchetto (b3), which didn't seem to make many appearances in the past. In my last tournament someone even did that in an open Sicilian. Also games are now played more often with an increment instead of a delay. Going from a...

Eclipse On My iMac

Image
My new iMac has renewed my interest in doing a little programming in my free time. It's not hard to understand - a slick new computer with a 24" screen and UN IX underneath - what's not to love? I downloaded Eclipse and it seems to work very well. I thought I would try a little application programming in Java. I've dabbled with Java over the years and I figured it was time to re-visit it. I found a library called Chesspresso that is LPGL . I've got a little to show for it so far - although obviously I don't have it picking up piece images very well just yet and the pieces aren't moveable. I'm working on downloading the iPhone SDK so I can play with that. Meanwhile I'm listening to "The Stage Names" and "The Stand Ins" from Okkervil River .
