A recent visit to Round Hill Dairy in Mount Vernon, Ohio, had me diving into the history of Mount Vernon and the Curtis Family. A woman that I walk with sometimes in the morning, Jessie, considers herself to be an ice cream aficionado. She told me, in no uncertain terms, that Round Hill Dairy was …
From Places to Eat
HangOverEasy Diner in Dublin, Ohio
On Saturday I had a delightful breakfast at HangOverEasy Diner in Dublin, Ohio. Tom and I went with John and Jackie to the Dublin Market at Bridge Park. It was the first “farmer’s market” of the season and will continue every Saturday from 9 until 12 through the end of September. We went to one …
3 Brothers Diner in Powell, Ohio
On a recent Sunday, Tom and I went with John and Jackie to 3 Brothers Diner in Powell. 3 Brothers has a storefront restaurant in a line of shops along Powell Street. It didn’t look like much from the outside, but was bigger than it appeared inside. The Powell location of 3 Brothers is their …
South Street Grille, Ashland
Tom and I recently met our friend, Wendy Bower, at South Street Grille in Ashland, Ohio. The restaurant was halfway between our two home and was one that my Aunt Anne and Uncle Paul had recommended. They recommended it in January, when we were in Ashland so much to see Dad, but we never had …
Al’s Woody’s Diner in Wapakoneta
Before going to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum, Tom and I recharged by eating at Al’s Woody’s Diner in Wapakoneta. We love a good diner, especially one that has lots of local support and this looked like the place. There were pickup trucks in the parking lot and tables filled with workers on their …
Tomatillos Authentic Mexican Restaurant

After years of avoiding Mexican restaurants because we didn’t know what to order, we are experimenting more. Tomatillos Authentic Mexican Restaurant …

Chile Verde Restaurant at Polaris
John picked eating at Chile Verde Restaurant for his birthday. Tom and I are usually in the south over John’s birthday, so it was nice to be able to celebrate with him. We had never eaten at Chile Verde, which was an added bonus. We met at Chile Verde on a Wednesday evening, the …
Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ
During our weekend in Hocking Hills, the Hartleys enjoyed at meal at Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ in Logan. We had been out hiking in the morning, washed the dirty dog, explored downtown Logan and worked up an appetite. Whenever we drive along 33, we see Millstone Southern Smoked BBQ along the road and think it …
Wittichs Candy Shop in Circleville
Tom and I recently made a trip to Circleville to visit Wittichs Candy Shop. I read about Wittichs Candy Shop in “Ohio Ice Cream: A Scoop of History.” It is a very interesting little book that lists lots of ice cream destinations in Ohio. Wittichs Candy Shop is not an ice cream shop, but they …
