El Grillo. You can get to there via a door from the strip joint, but I'm guessing there's an outside door too. I hear they have great burrito's but I was not going down that route as late as it was. I was chatting up the owner and he's legit. Not exactly a date place (unless you date the likes that I used to) but I bet it makes for a nice take home meal. Mary's was pretty bad - they had some seasoned "pro's" - but there's a school teacher looking girl who was pretty hot and was rumored to kiss on the mouth and put her hand down your pants for the price of a lap dance. I, however, cannot confirm this based on personal experience.
As for the baseball stadium, maybe, but I can't remember. We did make our way out to McMenamins' Edgefield 17 hole par-three golf course modeled after Burningbush, the fantasy fairways from Michael Murphy's "Golf in the Kingdom." I had my first hole in one at the 15th, near the "Garcia Bronze" a dramatic, tree-like sculpture honoring the late Grateful Dead guitarist.
