I've been to the Rudy any number of times and for various shows. They have some excellent entertainers and always put on a good show. The shows are family friendly in that there is no profanity or content unsuitable for children--but IMHO children would probably not enjoy the shows that much. In my experience, some shows are better than others, but all have been good.

We had a friend in town and took him by to see this. Its a very nice little museum, nice movie about Ava.
Warning. Be careful about parking on the street if you have a full size truck, a lot of mirrors get taken off. I was in the museum for about 45 mins and when I went out side I found my truck was damaged.

The tasting bar/ room is not that large. The seats are always full every time we've been. But that's a good sign. We like most of their wines and prefer the whites. Once you've tasted them they are happy to sell you full glass pours. We often take our drinks to the porch to enjoy and sit. The best part are the wine slushes which are amazing on a hot day. They do sell merchandise and some food like cheese and crackers. It's a nice winery to visit.

This is a very nice shopping center. It was not hard to maneuver because parking and driving were easy. The outlet is not overcrowded during the week. Most stores have friendly and helpful staff. Stores are smaller than other outlets and some offer no more discounts than department stores. You have to shop for your bargain. We found good deals at The Gap, Nike, and Christopher and Banks.

This place is full of collectibles and shabby chic....just what I love. It's so much fun to walk around and see what they have. This is where I bought my first pre-1950 pig which started a massive vintage pig collection.

What makes us different? We are very family friendly, we don't serve alcohol. We are all about the quality of the music. We try hard to keep an inviting environment where it always feels a bit like coming home. We love traditional country music and Ameripolitan as well. The Ice House Theatre is one of the most appreciative audiences in the world and they know good music when they hear it. We have

Just happened upon this hidden gem on our way back home on Hwy. Business 70. Unknowingly passed it by several times as we assumed it was some kind of an industrial business by the buildings look. While stopped at a stop sign on the side...MoreThanks, we love Gary too! Thanks for the review!

This theater has good prices and the snacks are good as well. However its nothing like the newer theatre, its in an older building and could use a remodel. The staff are always friendly and the screen and sound are average. If you wanna see a movie that's not at the big well known theater Howell's is a good spot.

The place is small and full of many beautiful things. I'm more of the shabby chic type and that's not what you will find here. If you are looking for what I call "real antiques" you will love this place.
