There is nothing like being in small towns at the holidays, walking along uncrowded streets and shopping in stores where you aren’t being jostled, bumped and pushed. Fort Bragg is a good example of just such a place. Read the rest of this entry »

Kudos to Ruth Rosenblum and her husband, S.A., who bought Frankie’s a little more than a year ago. Sure, go there for the ice cream, then order a pizza and come back later as they pull it fresh and hot from the oven — one of my favorites.
