On our way to Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Tom and I stopped at Mudcat Charlies Seafood Restaurant for lunch. Having been denied burgers at Zuzus, we were looking for a good cheeseburger. Several reviews said that Mudcat Charlies had good burgers, although they are better known for their seafood. We decided to check it …
From Places to Eat
No Zuzus for You! A Continuing Saga
One of the things Tom and I were looking forward to in our return to St. Simons Island was a burger at Zuzus. Zuzus is a little hole-in-the-wall hamburger joint on the island where we had the best burgers of the whole year in 2020. In fact, a Zuzus burger is the standard by which …
Upper’s Winter Fantasy of Lights
On a recent cold and wintry evening, Tom and I picked up Mom and Dad and headed west for Upper’s Winter Fantasy of Lights. Last year we saw two light displays, and enjoyed them both, so we thought we would check out another light display. Before going to see the lights, however, we stopped at …
Hanby House Historic Site in Westerville, Ohio
After viewing the Van Gogh exhibit, the four of us headed for another adventure: a tour of the Hanby House Historic Site in Westerville, Ohio. First, however, we needed some fuel to continue our awesome adventure day. We chose the Westerville Grill as the spot for lunch. Uptown Westerville has lots of cool looking places …
North Market and Kitchen Social in Dublin
To celebrate Jackie’s recent birthday, John and Jackie took Tom and me to a new place: North Market and Kitchen Social in Dublin. For the last several years, we have driven around construction along the Scioto River in Dublin as they developed the area. A lot of urban developments these days are based on the …
Galena Diner in Downtown Galena, Ohio
After our immersive Van Gogh experience, Mom and Dad wanted to take me out for lunch to celebrate my birthday. Tom and I had been wanting to go to the Galena Diner ever since we moved to the area and rode our tandem bike through Galena the first time. With Covid-19 restrictions, it was too …
SPAM Town, USA: Austin, Minnesota
On our way back to Ohio, Tom and I spent several days in and around SPAM Town, USA, also known as Austin, Minnesota. We loved Austin, which is a small city of 24,000 people with a quirky sense of humor. Not every city would enjoy being called SPAM Town, but Austin takes pride in the …
Gramma Sharon and Pit 105 Barbeque
Tom and I spend lots of time in Williston, North Dakota. We go there at least once a week to do laundry and grocery shopping. Two local restaurants that we enjoy are Gramma Sharon and Pit 105 Barbeque. Of course, the restaurant we eat at most is Culver’s. Love their fresh, fast food and I …
Billings, Montana: Biggest City in the State
With a population of 110,000, Billings is the largest city in Montana. It is sometimes referred to as the Magic City because it grew so rapidly after its founding as a railroad town in 1882. I think every state has a city with that nickname, for many different reasons. Billings is the largest city for …
Powell Farmers Market and Farmer John
John and Jackie now have a booth at the Powell Farmers Market. Not the one on Saturday which is in downtown Powell, but the one on Sunday just off Sawmill Road. The Sunday market runs from 10 until 1, so Tom and I drove over there after church the first Sunday they were having it. …
