I stayed up late last night mapping out the Chinese restaurants of Mississippi & Alabama. As expected, they are well-sprinkled throughout, so that one is never too far from the nearest egg roll... except for this one big chunk of western Alabama that appears as a vast wasteland, bereft of any Chinese restaurant. Hmm.... Know what I think? There's gotta be Chinese restaurants there, alright, but they just aren't the kind you can find on the internet. Must be the secret-to-the-outside-world, known-only-to-locals kind that can't be bothered with web listings. Strictly on the down low. That's what I think. I'm gonna go find out! <-- (determined)
