I spent the past week in Massachusetts for a wedding of one of the players in my alliance. My boyfriend lives up there, so we decided to spend one of the days walking around Boston. After finding a nice Sushi place on Shrewsbury street, we ended up passing another restaurant on the way to the T station:

The best part? While all the other restaurants had expensive wines, special salads, and exotic foods...

...They were serving burgers.

Heineken is apparently the official anti-establishment beverage.

Edit: Light Heineken that is...

oh how funny, a common expression that we also use in this game!

I was watching a Popeye cartoon the other day, and it had a GOON in it!

I was cooking dinner and realized my dutch oven was made out of IRON!

When I was making breakfast this morning, I had to take the TOP off the milk jug!

You have to admit that it's an odd name for an eatery though. :P

What does Vox Populi mean, and why would it make a good name for an eatery?

As I quote from Wikipedia:

Quote

Vox populi (IPA voks populi), a Latin phrase that literally means voice of the people, is a term often used in broadcasting for interviews of members of the "general public".


There. Wikipedia has answers.

Too bad you can't transfer nukes from your CN nation and convert into real nukes. :P

I would be surprised if there is a restaurant close by that has one of the Vox Populi's enemies' names.

sure it is. It's one of the more common latin expressions, mainly because of the phrase "Vox populi, vox dei" (the voice of the people is the voice of god).

I've seen the phrase Vox Populi around so many times it isn't even funny anymore.

I used to live near a Sandwich shop called Valhalla, but this was 7 years ago so never though of taking a picture to show on the CN forums. Sorry.
