Where is the restaurant?

Yesterday hubby and I went looking for a dress for a wedding we are going to. After our last store I suggested to hubby we go eat some Pho (Vietnamese soup). He was up for it.
I googled a Vietnamese restaurant that was in the same plaza as the store. Google said it recently opened. We couldn’t find it, even with navigation. It seemed like there was another restaurant in its place—a hot pot one. I wasn’t opposed to eating hot pot instead but it was at least an hour wait so we left.
Then I googled another Vietnamese restaurant that was close by. We navigated there but couldn’t find it either. Luckily, there was another place very close to where that one should’ve been so we went there to eat. It didn’t have the Pho I wanted—the one with four different kinds of beef—but it was still good. Pricy though.
For two beef Pho and an order of Vietnamese buns with chicken, including tax and tip, it came out to about $57. Costs us way less at a restaurant close to our house.
Wonder why these two places showed up on Google yet didn’t physically exist. And the search results didn’t even say they are closed. I searched for them on Yelp and it didn’t say they no longer exist either.

Was the dress for you or your hubby? And did you find something he looked good in?

I wonder how hubby would look in a dress. Have yet to see him in one.
He wore a tutu once but on his head.
He was playing with his friend’s kids at the time.1 person likes this

I'm sure he looked lovely.
You should have taken a picture so you could show it around.

@DaddyEvil supposedly he had one on his phone before but he couldn’t find it.

So did you find a dress? Sometimes listings don't get updated. I run into this all of the time.

I found a dress. Perhaps it is not a black tie kind of dress but it is nice. I wonder if I should keep on looking.

@lovebuglena I think it's lovely and quite appropriate.

That's a bit off that the restaurants weren't where they were supposed to be. Sometimes, restaurants don't last long.

One supposedly recently opened. If that was the case weird that it didn't exist already.
