We had eaten at Lovino’s in Ruston before and enjoyed the food, but not since it sold and became Macaluso’s Italian Restaurant. It’s been on our list to try for some time. We were in a little time crunch. Peg had to pack her clothes and tools of art for a trip the next morning […]

Meridian Café – Puyallup Restaurant Review
My wife and I recently stayed at an ABNB in downtown Puyallup. Up early I walked around by myself looking at the murals, the Sounder picking up passengers, and other sights. Looking down the street I saw an “OPEN” neon sign where I didn’t expect it. Auntee B’s was one of my favorite places for […]
Trellis Café – Restaurant Review

At the top of my list was the Trellis Café, I wasn’t really sure what it was, the hours seemed strange, […]

Traveling out of town on business, this national chain was a reliable haven for almost any meal time or nearly anytime of the day or night. This time Peg and I were […]

El Sabor – Restaurant Review
My friend Jim picked me up about a quarter to twelve. I suggested we dine at El Sabor across the street from Tacoma Community College. I tried to visit their website, but it had been hacked and Google link took me to information about online casinos. I have run into hacks like this from my […]
