Lifestyles
"Dallas-Ft. Worth's nonsmoking lifestyle social"
This web site (featuring an animated gif of a scantily dressed woman
wriggling around) is apparently aimed at "open-minded couples",
i.e., what SmokeFree thinks
used to be called swingers, who prefer their swinging smokefree.
It is affiliated with the Lifestyles Organization, which seems
to be about getting nude with other people at
private parties. No address given.
Investigate at your own risk. But apparently secondhand smoke
is not one of the risks.
Mimi's Cafe
5656 SW Loop 820 (817) 731-9644
I-20 and Bryant Irvin Drive
Yummy soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, chicken,
roast beef, fish, desserts, beer and wine. They've got you covered!
A satisfied customer writes:
This restaurant is definitely committed to being smokefree. In the Dallas/Fort Worth area chain restaurants seem to be more interested in caving into tobacco industry than meeting the wants and needs of the community.
Thanks Robert!
