Location: Frank’s Italian Restaurant; Danville, Va.
Picture taken: August 2007
Frank’s is definitely one of our favorite restaurants in town, especially since they moved into their new location on Memorial. Good atmosphere, good food, and (usually) good service add up to a place we go back to again and again. (I recommend the grilled chicken salad with their house dressing!)
When I saw their take-out menus on our last visit, I told the ladies at the register I hoped they got a refund on them. “Frank’ Italian Family Restaurant”?! Where’s the s?!
This is one of those so-called careless mistakes (that’s what my math teachers always called them on my papers, at least) that just makes you shake your head. I’ve overlooked similarly crucial errors before myself. Once you check something over and over, it’s hard not to gloss over everything instead of focusing.
Rule: Everyone needs a good proofreader! (It’s a good thing I’ve got Mr. Hawke!)
