Honestly just the best ice cream I think I've ever had. Me and my wife went here for the first time right after we got married and since then have made it a habit to go as often as we are able. A few months ago we went on vacation and went to a different ice cream place that looked good and it was fine. But no place I've been had the same depth of flavor Bruster's has. They have a lot of flavor options and the ice cream is just the perfect consistency and the flavors are so delicious. I've been really feeling the butter pecan recently and I don't even like nuts. But the flavor is just so good. They rotate flavors pretty often and they have a lot of chocolate based flavors right now but I'm not a chocolate fan (too played out for me) so I just default to butter pecan. 3 scoops is enough for me, a grown man at 27. I can eat 4 scoops but I really have to make the effort to do so and usually doesn't feel great afterward. Treat yourself. I recommend this...

Ollie's This was a kinda fun store. First time, didn't know what to expect. Most stuff seemed cheaply made, but, I bought a rubber can opener, the kind you put over the top of a bottle to open it, AND it had a second husband in it! $2 I think. (You dunno what 2nd hubby is? The flat, round THIN rubber thing we use to open jars. Like guys, don't you sometimes feel that's all you're good for? Lol) Lotsa little toys for kids. It's like a ginormous big lots/dollar tree for cheap. Still in all, ya gotta know...

The shopping center has a few good stores in it... But it was clearly not designed for the traffic on the road in front of it. Several signs of cobbled together updates are everywhere. Still... Ollie's Bargain Outlet and McKay's Used Books are enough of a reason to keep coming back. The 7-Eleven with gas station, And several other shops are handy too. The bank has closed, but they are putting some kind of "Farmers Market" store where the Marshall's used to be. Hopefully it brings in just a bit...
