This pharmacy also at one time, happened to house an old-fashioned soda fountain. It is nestled next to the Seville Hotel, which is now full of loft apartments. I had [...]

Ok, so this week my life has been a little more on the boring side. I worked. I slept. I ate. I bought groceries. Nothing really exciting or interesting. I did try a new place last night called Parlor 88. They don’t serve dinner, but rather appetizers, cocktails, coffees and desserts. I was really impressed. [...]
