Options. It's always great when there are options because if you don't particularly like something you can go with another choice. And right now there apparently aren't enough options in Longview.

I'm sure you've heard the question, 'What do you want to eat?' You've probably responded with a steak, a burger or maybe Italian or Asian. Then you heard the response back, 'But we had that yesterday or last week.' Or where do want to go to grab that burger and you've been told, "We always go there". I know, I've heard both of those responses to each of those situations!

Apparently, quite a few Longview residents have heard the same and are looking for, more choices. Now, these choices for something new aren't limited to restaurants, although a big slice of the suggestions are for more dining out options, but shopping, grocery stores, entertainment, societal changes even educational choices came up when the question was posed in a Longview social media group.

Among the restaurants being craved are:

Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy Store
Buca di Beppo
Steak & Shake
In N Out Burger
Ralph & Kacoo's
Cheesecake Factory
Bahama Buck's
Chuy's
PF Chang's
Krispy Kreme
cafeterias serving home-style meals

When it comes to shopping and grocery stores, here's what Longview is missing:

Costco
H-E-B
Joann Fabric
Hancock Fabric

Whole Foods Market
Apple Store
Trader Joe's

We're always looking for new entertainment too:

Studio Movie Grill
Dave And Busters
concert venue
ice rink
jazz club
Main Event
waterpark
Top Golf

Society options weren't left out either!

Of course, there are many other wishes for more options and choices, but this is just at the top of Longview's mind right now. We're not even including the places that y'all want to see brought back because we've covered that already! For that, jump over to this page or check out the images below.
