And with a little irrigation you might be able to turn it into quite a
nice piece of vacation property! :-)

On that note, I have mentioned seeing restaurants reviewed in this
group to several proprieters/managers but have never gotten more than a
blank stare.  What are other people's experiences in this regard?

I regularly go to places that I have seen mentioned here and I
suspect that many others do too. How long before we start seeing
advertisements disguised as "reviews?"

My most recent visit was to the Nona Laura (Rt. 50 and Graham Rd. in
Falls Church) which I saw mentioned in the recent "Best Pizza" thread.
(Not bad but not great either.) Coincidentally, one of the people at the
next table was also there because of the mention in the group. (I was
eavesdropping on her conversation.) Perhaps we have more "clout" than
we think. . .
