However, Missoula does have the Old Post (way better than Chili's), Taco del Sol (way better than Chipotle), Finnegan's (the local version of IHOP), and Food for Thought, Front Street Pasta and Wraps, Hob Knob, and Le Petit Outre, all of which I'm guessing are local equivalents of Camille's. I personally am all for lack of chain restaurants in a town. I love local flavor. I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll find local equivalents for all your favorite chain restaurants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214459341650952218.post-36174206998954174062008-08-13T14:37:00.000-07:002008-08-13T14:37:00.000-07:00I don't know about Chipotle but I feel we need a Q...I don't know about Chipotle but I feel we need a Qudoba which is the same as Moes but with a LOT more flavor.

Perhaps I am missing something of your point but obviously you do not reside downtown west side near the Gannon campus[third-tenth streets,sassafras-Liberty streets]or upper west side[36th-44th, State to Pine Ave.west-east]Mercyhurst 'neighborhoods'. Though I admit to never having lived anywhere long term that was "a college town". Please elaborate on other aspects that would make Erie more 'college town'-like. <BR/>Also may I just add that the older we get the more that term does not seem attractive in all honesty. As we have encountered sloppy,disrespectful,dishonest,and just plain nasty college age students who give those of you with some class a bad reputation.
