Stutz. Look it up.

Okay, maybe this is just me but you should try it sometime

4. Speaking of restaurants, we got some of the best ones

Just to name a few: The Black Whale, The Chicken or the Egg, and Uncle Wills

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
