  • Twice Upon A Time , an upscale children's consignment boutique, located next to Ravissant and across Highway 431 from Interior MarketPlace, will be having their grand opening Saturday, June 16, 2007. They also feature new gift items from makers such as Stephen Joseph and Melissa & Doug for the pampered mom and child.
  • Good news for BBQ lovers: Ole Hickory BBQ is opening a second location, starting Monday, June 18th at 2614 NW Memorial Parkway. Hours are 11-8 Monday-Thursday and 11-9 Friday & Saturday. My favorite is their enormous "stuffed potato" topped with barbecue and all the fixins! For more info, call (256) 852-6999.
