I have 3 Birmingham-area Chili's to choose from. All are in paved-over hellscapes. Help me choose.

From closest to farthest:

1. Homewood, "Wildwood Centre", which is no longer wild, wooded, and never was a "centre". I was last inside this one maybe 15 years ago and ordered at the bar where they didn't try to give me that sticky flashing touch-screen. Homewood is mildly blue but who knows what will drag into a Wildwood Centre Chili's.

2. Fultondale, Northside of Birmingham in the Forever 1978 suburbs. The Chili's is perched out over I-65 and will no doubt be full of people from Florida or northern states fleeing homicidal post-election mobs. Years ago at a nearby shopping center my suspiciously ethnic wife felt that she was receiving glares from the Pinkfolk. West Virginia starts about ten miles north of this one.

3. Trussville, Northeast of town, at the bottom end of a massive parking lot of a mall and across the street from a graveyard. An odd burb that went from "country village" to "let's park our money here" inside of 20 years. I went to an art show there a couple years ago and it's a place where you can tell they want art, but at the same time they're kinda pissed off about it. Many of the men look like Barney Rubble.

Wildwood Center grew up in the town, we never knew what it was called.

Some said it was a mall. Some said it was a strip. I never gave it much thought.

Whatever the outcome is on Tuesday, I'll be in no shape on Wednesday to drive 45 minutes over to Midland for Chili's.

Is anybody else out here in the wastelands willing to give me a ride?

That one's going to have to be delayed a few weeks so I can recover from a Harris win.  I want to be in top form for both celebrations.

Do Chili's still put chocolate sprinkles on their chocolate shakes? That was the bomb 35 years ago.

The other brinker restaurants are Maggianos and it’s just wings.

I was "this close" to ordering that yesterday, but since I was going for the full nostalgia effect, I defaulted to the chocolate chip cookie skillet that I got all the time back in the day.

Now they think they are going to win the election because of Squirrel-gate.

I've never heard of "It's just wings" out here.  Maggianos are few and far-between.

Y'all, good news. Didn't realize there was a Chili's anywhere near me, but yet...

Some social influencer couple in I think New York had a pet squirrel, which is illegal, because you know rabbies and shit.  The Health Department found out from the videos online, got it and euthanized it.  Somehow, because of fucking course, this became political.
