Numerous people have told me time and again that I “need” to review the burgers at Pops down in Arcadia, and while I appreciate the recommendation, that still means I have to go to Arcadia. Now that a second store has opened up in Nichols Hills, I can finally give the famed diner a chance because, for real, how different can they be from each other?
While many people love to get out on that open road and feel the wind in their hair, the adventure of cruising Route 66 is reason enough to log in those miles; as for me, however, being a Latino in Nichols Hills that isn’t working with a landscaping crew is all the adventure I need, especially when I couldn’t find the place at 6447 Avondale Dr. and made so many wrong turns and flipped bitches in an effort to just make it across a shopping center parking lot, I’m surprised I wasn’t pulled over on suspicious behavior.
