" Lookit here son, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens? He scared 'em! That Rhode Island Red turned white. Then blue. Rhode Island. Red, white, and blue. That's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is."
Off the top of my head starting at the Western edge of Prospect there is Captain's Quarters, Cunninghams, Darkstar Tavern and Cast Iron Steakhouse. On Highway 42 proper we have Bristol, Hanabi, Bistro 42, L&J Café (which is owned by the fine folks at Dragon Café),Subway and the usual outposts of chain pizza delivery and McD's.
Tucked in behind the Stock Yards Bank we have the mighty fine Sol Aztecas (who have the friendliest staff in town that treat you like family) and Arata Sushi. If you head down Carslaw Ct. past Sol Aztecas you find J Harrods on River Rd.
Follow River Rd to its end with U.S. 42 and you will find the old Winn Dixie shopping complex that holds Panda China, Blackstone Grill, To the River Café, Homemade Pie & Ice Cream and some fine sandwiches at Butcher's Best.
Wind your way up the hill and cross the Oldham County line and you have Burning Bush and Dragon Café.
A veritable wasteland of food choices Prospect suffers with. And thanks for letting me channel my Foghorn Leghorn so early in the day!
