The people here are very friendly and they have great drinks!!!! They make their own liquor so they are knowledgeable on what they are selling. and the atmosphere is really nice.

My history nerd self couldnt pass the opportunity to visit this covered bridge. It is interesting that it is placed neared a super busy area with soccer fields and a private school right across it, plus the resdential area. For pictures, park in the sports field. It is only a 1 minute walk. It has graffiti inside, which breaks my heart, but overall the bridge is well-preserved and located over a natural, not man-made, creek which gives it its dignity back. It was a privilege to see this preserved piece. Kuwani's club (Kiwani? sp?) were responsible for this to happen. KUDOS

Really enjoyed the beer here. Had around 8 house beers on tap. Large projector screen was showing football games and a small patio outside to sit in. Only negative was it appeared that there were only 8 tables so had to stand, but overall not a big deal. Would definitely go back.

I’m a junk junkie. I love finding that one thing I needed so badly that I had no idea I needed until I found it! Angel’s is always good for a find. The store is divided into two distinct areas: true antiques with real monetary value and the stuff of shoppers like me. Aisles are comfortable, merchandise is neat, staff are knowledgeable and helpful.
