Everybody just can’t help but look at a big trainwreck!<\/p>\n

We get a lot of submissions to our SouthsideCentral email (southsidecentral AT southsidecentral DOT com) and we try to use as many as we can. We’re going to look at a complaint about a local restaurant that quickly devolved into a trainwreck with people making wild defamatory accusations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We start with the original post that was made in some Facebook yard sale group. Yes, I know it has nothing to do with yard sales and I don’t know why it was put there. No, I’m not obscuring the names of the people who made the comments. I stand behind what I write and so should everybody else.<\/p>\n

OK, fine. Miyako restaurant has gone downhill in quality and I’ve commented before that it seems nobody is ever in their parking lot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, hey, slamming Miyako’s isn’t good enough for other people. The trainwreck is about to start.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hoo Boy. I’ve eaten at Gina’s Restaurant (on N. Main St.) before and I strongly believe that there’s no chance in hell of this ever happening. Now let’s get to the heart of this trainwreck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All righty then. If you need to pick your jaw off the floor after reading that “I was told by a friend” human trafficking accusation, go right ahead. Let’s finish this article off with another lovely comment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is total horsecrap. The Perry family closed the Bonanza restaurant franchise because Western Sizzlin was putting a big dent in their sales and they were also ready to retire. But hey, who needs facts when you can make crap up?<\/p>\n

This trainwreck has been brought to you by an anonymous submitter and some Facebook yardsale group. Keep those submissions coming in!<\/p>\n
