We're so excited to finally meet Chick and Jan! I'm trying to get Lonnie to get Sinister's new intake tuned and sidepipes installed for the occasion (it's a little known fact that Chick has Sinister's behind,
).
In Lakeland off the US98 exit are all the usual chain restaurants, haven't been out that way in a while but can try to drive out this weekend and look around. Then there is the historic downtown Lakeland area which is really lovely - there are several non-chain type places and a "town square" atmosphere. There is a very pretty place in the lobby of a beautiful old hotel with view of the lake - not sure of price or rowdy group tolerence.
There is also an open-air seafood place that always looks fun but crowded - maybe they take reservations? I'm sure when Gene checks in he can make some suggestions.
Looking forward to it!
