My whole living room is Moroccan (started with Tex/Mex, then reverse immigrated to Southern Spain, then Northern Africa. My own personal negative Moorish migration.) There's the Fez Bar in Austin. Beautiful. And I'm dying to stay in that mega-lux hotel in Las Vegas, where they filmed that Julia Roberts movie (she played the frumpy asiistant?) Is the trend kinda more Northern African than Middle Eastern, would you say? Or maybe the Cali bars are truly Middle Eastern. Now where are those soon-to-be-damned Hale Tiki light fixtures?! I should grab me one! [ Edited by: formikahini on 2004-03-23 00:34 ]
