Riding the Holly Trolley

My daughter, granddaughter and I rode the Holly Trolley today and enjoyed Small Business Saturday in downtown Fort Wayne.  I did this last year on my own but it was much more fun to have them with me.  It is very convenient that one of the trolley stops is right here at my apartment building. We enjoyed lots of little shops, and some big spreads like the LuLaRoe shop set up in the Grand Wayne Center. I bougth some very comfy tights which I will probably never wear out in public. We tried a new restaurant for lunch. Caliente is a Cuban restaurant across the street from JK O'Donnells. We were actually heading to JK's til we discovered no one under 21 could enter. My 15 year old granddaughter is growing up fast but she can't pass for 21 yet. Anyway the Cuban option turned out to be very good. It was fun to be downtown with lots of people around. It reminded me of "the good old days" when we went downtown to do all of our Christmas shopping. Of course back then there were big stores down town, Do you remember Wolf and Dessauer, Patterson Fletcher, and of course Murphy's. Did you know that Cindi's Diner still sells Murphy's donuts? Talk about sweet memories.
