Enter and Tropical Dreams looks much like any other ice cream shop I’ve visited. Look more closely and you can see and feel the difference. The employees radiate a warmth reflecting that island vibe the locals are known for. Waiting for my turn in line I also see them moving swiftly as a team to […]

Johnny Rockets – UTC
UTC is a short walk to get a meal for me. UTC is an attractive dinner spot as traffic in this area is terrible at dinner time so I don’t like hopping in the car. I tend to alternate between Red Robin and Eureka Burger when I’m in the mood for a burger. I was […]
