Experience the Centennial celebration of Abraham Lincoln in Washington DC

January 12th, 2009

By: Wendy Vogeley

It is something I look forward to each year and once you hear about what it is you might think, “Are you crazy?” Well maybe, but it is something that I look forward to each year. We at Old Town Trolley, Macy’s Department Store, the Mayor of Boston, and, of course, Santa Claus himself light 15 neighborhood trees in a marathon session that lasts 3 days!

The best French Fries in St. Augustine, Florida are found at The Cheese Wheel Sandwich shop on San Marco Avenue. Sure Hazel’s Hotdogs has great fresh cut fries. So does G Pops south of town. But these fries at the Cheese Wheel are shoestring style and fried to a golden crispness that is hard to beat. The salty, greasy goodness just keeps coming. Read the rest of this entry »
