Little Italy on the Plains

By Eliot, on July 25th, 2010%

Geographically, I guess Krebs, Oklahoma is in the Sandstone Hills part of the the state and not the Plains, but I think most people’s perception of this state is flat grasslands with cowboys and indians. Regardless, I doubt that anyone could imagine this “Little Italy” in the Sooner State.

More Dallas trip

By Eliot, on July 7th, 2010%

Unfortunately, our conference had us hooked up from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. every day. We learned a lot but that did not leave us much time for adventure.

More Birmingham

By Eliot, on September 24th, 2009%

We stumbled upon ArtWalk 2009. I love it when we just happen upon local events like this.

We sought out some local restaurants and eateries like J. Clyde’s where we tried Good People beer on tap. We also found “The Original” Pancake House , a great place for a Sunday morning late breakfast. Plan to . . . → Read More: More Birmingham

Taos

By Eliot, on July 24th, 2009%

Just got back from Taos. A potentially great trip was dampened by the fact that our family pet was deathly ill and at the vet for the entire week we were traveling. We did try to enjoy ourselves in between dire phone calls from the vet. The good news is that our little pet did . . . → Read More: Taos
