Pioneer Woman Mercantile

It's located in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The food is worth the wait.

If you're ever in Mount Airy North Carolina, affectionately named Mayberry, as Andy Griffith grew up here. Check out Aunt Bea's BBQ, or Opie's candy shop.

Didn't they just open up a rooming house/hotel too? I think some of the remodeling and decorating of the rooms showed up on Pioneer Woman not to long ago as well!

Going to be in Seattle anytime soon? If so, check out Hello Robin Bakery 522 19th Ave E, Seattle, WA.

We checked out this place and gobbled up several (they are small but nonetheless) of their famous Mackles'more cookies on a recent trip across the water to Seattle!

If you're ever in the Lake Geneva IL area, take in the hot air balloon races! It's been years since I've gone but it was tons of fun!

I've posted this several times BUT it bares repeating.........

The Grove Hotel (West Seattle) 3512 SW Alaska St Seattle, WA 98126

If you're going to be in Seattle and are looking for a convenient location to stay, may I suggest West Seattle. It's only about a 10 to 15 minute drive to downtown and if you want to leave your car parked and avoid the expense of parking which always seems to be at a premium and a headache, use the public transport system which picks up and drops off right at their front door. At $2.75 per person it's a deal you can't beat. Consider it an adventure if you're new to public transportation.
We've stayed here and we've had company that stayed here. We found it clean and with a very friendly staff.

Emerald City Smoothie 428 Broadway E Broadway or 1620 Broadway

They have a good size selection to choose from and if you get one of the nicer clerks, they'll even offer to make a custom one of your choosing.

Rider has taken over the Von's old location and while we were in Seattle during our last trip we met friends there for a drink. They had some decent priced Brunch drink specials. We did not eat so I can't comment on the food. The prices did seem higher judging from the menu however. Happy to say they still offer the outside seating for yous who enjoy that.

If you're going to be in Chicago and want pizza............

Pizano's Pizza & Pasta 864 N State St, Chicago (there are other locations as well)

It's impossible to say who has the best pizza in Chicago, but this place has to be one of them! Plenty here besides pizza too!

I have posted this before no doubt, but after a recent visit, it's remains top on my list!
