Yow. Zah. Remember last week when we reminisced about free matches in Dallas restaurants? Today, Kirk sends this link to a feature story in the New York Times. Next Monday I will have more photos of old Dallas matches. Continue on, dear trendsetters. And say thanks to Kirk for sharing.

I loved Loma Luna it was the best and only New Mexican place in town. I can smell the pecan grilled chicken and their red and green salsa right now sitting by their fireplace on a day like today.

Thank you Kirk. I could look at these matches all day. I love that picture of Monica’s!

A comeback of matches in a smoke free town. Hmm. That makes sense.

Yes, it makes sense. Candles, who doesn’t have a hundred candles in their house? Maybe they should just do matchbook covers and put a handiwipe inside.

NN, how many matchbooks did you write your phone # on back in the day???

Maybe a new Tristan Simon concept…The Matchbox Room…BYOC.
