If I could've, I would've

Since the branch library moved on out to Ruiz out by ACC, we're seldom in the little shopping center with La Hacienda and Joy East as we make our constant rounds among the branches. According to an ad in the Chron, the first seen except for one either in El Mundo or in El Norte, probably the former, the Joy East buffet will have lion dancers at the inauguration of its expansion, which will have a sushi bar and a game room. This buffet, when last visited, had frequent, small batches of the dishes, all quite appealing for the price, and some of the best pico de gallo (salsa fresca, salsa cruda) anywhere in town. It's too bad to miss those dancers.
