No More Kings

No More Kings will be playing the Exit/In December 1 at 8pm check them out because they are getting rave reviews both locally and nationally. See them before they hit it big so that you can brag later about being cool and knowing about them before it was cool. Yeah you do that.......don't lie.

Thanks to Shannon Patterson for the info.

Breakfast at the Loveless Cafe


Seeing this sign if like coming home for me. I have gone here for years and will for many more because the food is delicious and the staff is fun.


Now a much larger restaurant than when I first discovered it and went for many years when it was just a small little place. Now it has grown and is able to hold more people and yet the crowds keep coming and the waits can be long.


A place where people of all kinds visit and enjoy the simple yet delicious food. This is the entrance with some of the pictures of celebrities who have visited. Speaking of celebrities, that is George Harvell on the left. He is the Executive Chef and Pitmaster and he knows how to make it just right.


A wonderful way to start the day when in the South...
Scrambled eggs, homefries, bacon, biscuits and gravy, coffee and some homemade preserves. They have Strawberry, Blackberry and Peach preserves to go with your biscuits. They also have some nice art on the wall made by local artists which is available for purchase.

When looking for cheap flight

I used Sidestep just a couple of days ago to book a flight. I was very impressed with how they work and check the airlines websites as well as the "competition" (Priceline, Travelocity, Orbitz, etc) to get the best fares. When I decided on the best price, times and airline and clicked on it, it took me to the airlines website to purchase the ticket. Basically they just helped me find exactly what I was needing and sent me to the website of the airline I chose.

I haven't used AirfareWatchdog.com before but I heard about this morning and checked out their website. I like the sounds and look of it and hope to use it sometime soon.
