Quakes

Just a couple of years ago, I felt one here in Asheville.  Well, I mainly observed artwork and blinds moving a bit.  Freaky.

Shoney's

1977 ad

I loved the one in Dothan, Alabama.  I enjoyed the burger and Hot Fudge Cake.

 I remember our neighbor taking the four of us to Shoney's on a day when my mother was tied up with something very important.  Our neighbor knew how to make us happy!

Globetrotters

This year marks twenty years since we moved to Asheville. Hard to believe! One of the things I did in the first couple of years was start a Meetup group called Globetrotters. I was the Organizer, and it was for anybody who enjoyed traveling overseas. The idea was to socialize and share some travel tips and stories. We gathered together at houses, met at restaurants and had events at local parks. It was quite fun! I will keep adding some old photos to this post.

 

Oyster House Brewing

Our visit was actually a year ago today.

The fried oysters were delicious!

I ended up getting the Happy Hour oysters. They were just okay. The last couple of times at Oyster House Brewing my raw oysters have been a little disappointing. I would recommend getting the more expensive oysters and I would wait till it's a bit deeper into the Fall to try them. Otherwise, stick to their other dishes and beer.

Kool & The Gang

This group was one of my favorites.  I saw them in concert at the Dothan Civic Center in the 90s.

In high school, we had a class project where we had to bring a favorite song to play and discuss. Mine was "Cherish" by Kool & The Gang.
