Hey Horace, I totally support your right for freedom of religious expression as well as your right to take this class. BUT I do believe this class should be presented as part of a religion curriculum and not as a science course.

Scotty's Lakeside at Geist was SO much better than this new Detour. We enjoyed the family nights, atmosphere, food and selection of local beers at Scotty's Lakeside. The new Detour has a lower level of service and we were not impressed with the food and beer selections. Would love to have Scotty's Lakeside back!!!
I have only been to The Precedent Scotty's location, but food and service have been consistently good and they are always packed. I'd love to say 'good-bye' to Detour(big babies). Since that area is built and intended to a mix of residential and business, there should not be any kind of noise level that would disturb any of the homeowners or patrons nearby. I've been to Detour only once (all it takes for me) and the food was so-so and overpriced and the service was under-par. Keep on trucking Mr. Wise!
