Shack review and more!

Hello again, readers! This is Hobo Bob speaking, and as I have mentioned in a post, this month is Hobo Awareness Month. Since I am a hobo myself, I will remind you again that if you see a hobo lying on the street, without a box to call home, please remember the month and comfort him in some way. We really need it.
Also, Freightram Homelesson gave an excellent review for the Shack yesterday. Here's how it read in the Hobo Gazette, our weekly newspaper:

"FREIGHTRAM HOMELESSON: ADVENTURES IN GOOD HOBO EATING
A month or two ago, a new restaurant was created. It was called Hobo Bob's Pancake Shack. I took little notice of it, and thought it would go out of business quickly and quietly.
But after a few weeks and hearing nothing but fantastic reviews of the place, I decided I needed to check it out. If the food was really as good as they said it was, I didn't want to miss out on any of it. And boy, was I right about that decision.
As soon as I even walked in the place, I knew I was going to have a great meal. The atmosphere and architecture of the building were perfectly suited for its location.
I sat down at the booth and told the waitress to surprise me when she asked me what I wanted.
Ten minutes later she came out with a steaming hobo pie, golden brown and cooked to perfection. I took a bite...
and I was launched through a thrilling flavor sensation. Rich and creamy and chewy... I hadn't had anything better since the opening of the bacon shop! I asked my waitress what it was. She said it was steak and cheese.
And as I paid the waitress my money (by the way, the prices are excellent), I still kept thinking about how that first bite tasted. Absolutely scrumptious.
So if you're looking for something different and delicious, you definitely have got to come down to the Shack. It'll be worth it.

How's that for a review, huh? Very nice for the popularity, I should think. More and more people will have read Freightram's column, and they'll come to the Shack! I'm so excited that I can't sit still!
Ensimmäinen seemed to like the Make-Your-Own-Pancake idea, and will add it ASAP. Thank you, Nicole, or whoever you are, for having that idea. It will at least double the visitors!

In other news, Zell has decided that he doesn't need anyone else to take down his gang. He'll try to do the job himself.
"Good luck with that," I said, and breathed a sigh of relief when he wasn't listening. If he thought I was going to join a gang with him as the leader, he was sadly mistaken, but I didn't want to be rude, either, so I was stuck. This makes things a lot simpler.

And if you have a few spare minutes, go to the Hobo Bob official website at hobobobspancakeshack.com, where you can see my bad HTML coding skills and join the new Hobo Bob forum (more on that later)! Hooray!

To quote the waiters and waitresses, "Thank you for visiting the Pancake Shack, and have a nice day!"

Congrats Hobo Bob! 999 hits! One more person and you will have broken 1000. I live in Maine, and there is already word running around about your pancakes! Pretty soon you'll have enough money to start another shack!

You should do a section about this on the News section of the site, and in the forums.

You know, macho hobo, that's a good idea. I think I'll make a Reviews page, too.
(Nicole, please stop doing the happy dance.)

The restaurant sounds wonderful - I can't wait to try it - that is - if I ever get to Alabama. It's tough to get a good review from Freightram Homelesson so it must be good ! I'm also hoping there will soon be a Hobo Bob's Pancake Shack up here in Maine.
