One of the things that I and other bloggers sometimes forget is that each blog post is a permanent individual record that can be accessed at any time, thanks to these nifty information gathering programs called spiders, sent out by the millions by the various search engines, (Wythenotes receives about one a minute; some sites receive one per second.) These spiders crawl the web uploading the category and tag files of every post and adding them to their own keyword files.

For instance: if you Google the phrase “mickey g’s,” the 13th option is a post I did February 5, 2010, entitled “serendipity at mickey g’s.” This post has been accessed hundreds of times since then by folks looking for information about the restaurant. There have been two comments left about the food and restaurant, the last one a negative review received this morning:

Not happy. // Nov 9, 2010 at 6:17 am (Edit)
The pricing was a high average. Our waitress was fantastic, punctual, polite, and very professional. There is where the nice things to say end. Our 16″ pizza took up the table and even though there was an elevated pizza rack you were eating under a shelf of pizza. Our pizza came out dripping “water?”, we got the supreme with portabella and as you are eating only one thing stood out as an individual, the crust. With sausage, pepperoni, 2 mushrooms, green pepper and onion you expect some flavor, you may as well get bread sticks. Was not worth the gas to drive from my home to the “Bistro”, much less the 32$ we dropped on it. I have read a couple scathing articles and thought maybe was do to busy times or people not liking being put on patio etc. Now I see there is valid reason to not eat there, The interior is cramped, and at a slow time the pizza was fast, but speed does not mask poor quality ingredients and skimpy toppings. You could not even tell it had sauce aside from red tinged bread. I am annoyed by the pizza’s quality and utter lack of flavor. I suggest if you want a place to dine in floyd to try somewhere else as there are several far better choices.

I invite those of you who have an experience with mickey g’s bistro and pizzeria, good or bad, especially those who have eaten there on my recommendation, to click on the link above and share it with the rest of us. Your comment will then be part of the record.

A Little Housekeeping

Because of the number of hits I get looking for information, I’ve added a link to the Wythe County Government website to the blog roll in my continuing effort to make Wythe Notes your one stop shopping site for all things Wythe County.
