What a marvelous showroom... in transition or still being built out. They have a lot of fixtures, toilets, etc. whatever you may need for your kitchen or bath. I liked how they have a couple of little rooms setup showing what is possible.
You really need time to explore the whole showroom.
I ended up buying my materials online and I wished I could have bought locally with them had they been more competitive.

I am new to physical therapy as I am a strong believer in working through the pain but since i have all this medical money I have to use or lose; I decided to give some PT a try.
I have drank the kool-aid.
Elsie Lim is fantastic. She did a very thorough exam of my shoulder and elbow and after a single session, I was amazingly a lot better. Elsie takes the time to really explain what she is doing and how she is manipulating your joints, ligaments or muscles. Her detailed explanations really helped me understand the bio-mechanics of what was going on and appreciated all the information.
I did follow a lot of her recommended exercises so you probably get out of it what you put into it.
I have since gone back for another session just to increase my range of motion and she was very helpful.
I would highly, highly recommend her.
I guess now I don't have to play through the pain anymore... now I won't have any excuse for my performance on the court.

The showroom is chock full of fixtures, counter-top materials, toilets, pretty much almost any fixture you need to dress up your kitchen or bath.
My complaint is that I called specifically asking to see if they had the Toto Guinevere, Soriee and Ultramax II toilets and was told yes. But, they didn't.
I would suggest going online and getting a better deal than what they are offering here.

I have been shopping for a while for new glasses and all the other optical departments never offered what i was looking for.
Shani was instrumental in winning my business because she took the time to understand what i wanted and then ordered sample frames to get me exactly what I wanted.
the store is clean and bright and welcoming.
For my next eye check I will consider going here.
Bonus when they dilate your eye they also undilate your eye.

    Thank you Shani.

    Note: they are on lunch from 12 - 2 and closed.

The Burgers are the BOMB! A medium rare beef burger is salaciously delicious. after a bite it takes food porn to a whole new XXX rated level. The lamb burger was scrumptious, juicy and mouth watering darn right tasty.
The thick cut frys were crispy but I was hoping for more of a bacon taste... when you think pork fat don't you think bacon... well I did.
Overall an excellent meal with all natural ingredients. I was only disappointed by the lack of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) in my soda. I really wanted some caffeine to stave off the inevitable food coma and had to settle for black tea.
next time I will have to bring my own HFCS soda.
Good thing they take credit cards because lunch for 2 was $50.

What a great find! i have been to the island 3 times and was very happy to find it.
The petting zoo is only open for an hour on Saturday but that is reasonable since it is all run by volunteers and it is free.
The white tiger here is pretty bored and watch out when it is pacing its pen as some kids were marked with tiger pee.
the place is well laid out and not crowded at all.

Looks like they have a kid jungle gym opening soon as well.

Well, the place is closing so i went in scrounging for leftovers but the place was picked clean... couldn't even find a 3 pack of underwear.
I am looking forward to seeing what the City Council has in store for this location... they can't do much worse by what is already here but they can do a lot better if they take cues from Santana Row. Hoping and waiting.

Straw Hat Pizza

I come here for our monthly old coworkers networking meeting and the lunch buffet is a gastronomic delight. The salad bar is fresh and clean with unlimited bacon bits and croutons and I have no problem filling myself up on the salad bar but I try to leave room for the piping hot pizza.
I get my pizza at the same time as my salad and the pizza still burns my mouth after sitting waiting for me to finish my salad. The pizza is a nice thin crust heaped with meat and cheese... i would like a little more sauce and anchovies but that is a personal preference. For your buffet style pizza this is really good and the selection has something for everyone. They even have little dessert twists but I have to draw the line somewhere and haven't tried them yet.
I used to come to Straw Hat pizza when they would show 3 stooges movies and have more arcade games but now it has matured into ESPN and sports memorabilia.
It would be nice to occasionally show the 3 stooges again.

I had Blue Rock cater my office groups picnic at Lick Mill park and Owen did a fantastic job of setting up my order and being flexible enough to accommodate the extra meat at the last minute. In retrospect, we didn't need the extra even with the extra people because the servings are more then enough for a person and a half. The chicken quarters must come from the land of giant chickens.
Owen came out and setup the entire BBQ buffet and everyone devoured the chicken, pulled pork and mac n cheese with gusto. I especially liked their BBQ sauce.
The lemon bars and brownies were a big hit as well.

Mary Coyle's Ol' Fashioned Ice Cream and Yogurt…

Oh, the old days of ice cream parlors is alive and well here at Mary's. The large booths fit our entire family and some weird concoctions of ice cream and flavors were ordered by the kids.
My sister likes to load up her kids on sugar and this place does not disappoint. I had a simple sundae and was very happy with the toppings and sauce.
During the Christmas holiday there is a massive display of cotton and figurines.
Looking forward to visiting again the next holiday I am in town.
Kind of sad that there are all these little islands of success surrounded by vacant lots of abysmal failures.
