It’s Saturday and we’re going to town, that’s downtown Granite City. It’s been exciting, and a joy the past few weekends to experience our downtown area. Last Saturday we attended the Melting Pot market for the first time. This weekend, the Blue collar Blues and BBQ competition. Enjoyed some awesome BBQ Buffalo wings and ice cold diet cokes. We were disappointed that the only music playing while we were there was recorded. We didn’t see a posted schedule, so not sure when the live music was to start. Afterwards, since we were not sure of the location for the Garden Gate Tea Room, we drove by to take a look and mark it down as another place to visit in the near future. To top off our visit to downtown, we made a stop at the used book store. The owners are great people and were very helpful. If you love to read, this is the place for you.
We’ve visited the new pizza place and will be returning there. Have yet to make it to the theater, but that’s on our list.
Thanks go out to the mayor and all the people working so hard to make our downtown area a great place to visit. Don’t stop now.
