Japanese taste, Japanese price

Tsujita is a smallish Japanese noodle restaurant that has great taste, service, and outdoor seating. Price is somewhat on the high side like in Tokyo but not surprising for LA. Would visit again if in the area.

A must for those interested in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright

If you are in the Chicago area and are interested in architecture and, especially the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, it's definitely worth it to take the tour of his combined home and studio. It may be helpful to refresh your memory (perhaps via Wikipedia or a YouTube video) before taking the tour. Afterwards, stroll around his Oak Park neighborhood...

It is always sobering....

It is always sobering to visit one of the last resting places of the nation's war dead. I know of too many who have joined the ranks at this location which dates back to before the Civil War.

I always love an oceanview restaurant

I visited Whiskey Red's Restaurant & Events for dinner. I'm a sucker for any waterfront restaurant and this one was no different. We arrived fairly early so they were not crowded. Our server checked on us often. I had a simple fish and chips meal that was fine. We watched a fleet of sailboats returning after a race. And, it's...

I came, I saw, I left

Okay, I don't have a dog. So we visited here to see where others take their dogs for a little exercise. The place is huge (many acres) and fenced in. But there is hardly a blade of grass to be seen. I guess that since I live in the Midwest where dog parks are...

Just used the drive-through several times

I've only used the drive through several times and everything was fine with that experience. But I parked in their parking lot each time to eat my meal. I found the parking lot really needed to be cleaned up more due to the amounts of discarded McDonald's trash left by users.

Convenient to Highway 61

This McDonald's outlet in Troy is close to Highway 61. So if you are going by Troy on the highway it is easy to get off at this exit to grab a hamburger here. Since I visit Cuivre River State Park from time to time to hike, it's a good stop after the hike...

Had a new section since my last hike here

I just hiked this trail today. Here is my review that I'll also post on Alltrails. "I did the trail clockwise on a Wednesday in September. I've done the trail about six times but it's been two years since my last hike here. I noted that a new trail section at the furthest point up...

Nice lakefront hike

I've done this hike three times. Here is my review also submitted to Alltrails: "We walked this around-the-lake trail on the first Wednesday in September and no other hikers were in sight. We did, however, see quite a few kayakers and people fishing. The trail has obviously not been maintained...

New faces after the pandemic

I have been here many times in the past and now that their dining area is open again since the pandemic I'm indoors. It's sort of sad that I don't see any of the familiar faces from the past. I know it's hard to give a fast food restaurant five stars but I've been satisfied...
