A quick google shows more than 33,000 restaurants in 118 countries. Here is a question I don't know the answer to: how do local restaurants compare price-wise between Moscow and Pullman? Also, I would expect the proximity of the two cities to modify any huge price differences between them, so how about between two cities that are comparable in size but more distant from each other?<br><br>Paul<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">

Whatever, I was still hungry after I ate it. For roughly the same moolah you could go to the Super China Buffet and get all you can eat of (probably) more healthful and arguably better tasting food. I would suggest that the min wage short-order burger joints have fare is already way overpriced, and they should be paying their employees $20/hour anyway at the prices they currently charge. But—as they’ll tell you—I’m no business man .</span></div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(31, 73, 125);">By the way, you can get a really pretty darn good burger at Dick’s in Spokane for $1.00. And, gosh, remember when back around 1968 you could get four burgers for $1.00 at some roadside joints off the Interstate? –and, if you like catchup, they weren’t half bad either. … ah… but enough nostalgia already. The workers there were probably getting $ 0.75/hour or were volunteers or doing mandatory community service. ;-)</span></div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(31, 73, 125);">Bob Dickow, troublemaker </span></div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;color:rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;"> vision2020-bounces@moscow.com [mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>rhayes@frontier.com<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, January 30, 2014 6:15 PM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> vision2020@moscow.com<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [Spam 4.11] [Vision2020] Hawkins mall</span></div></div></div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal"> </div><div><div><div class="ecxyiv0271428457MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:'Courier New';color:black;"><br clear="none">Today's Topics:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"> 1.
