Two for the Price of One

Here you get a "two-fer", a really cool window offering of bright spring color, and the great facades of buildings across Lake Street. This is a great shopping area with all sorts of little stores that are just brimming with unique things waiting to be discovered. All part of the Gaslight District fun!

Let's go Downtown

Everything's great when you're....downtown. Old song, but true here in Petoskey. I love the old buildings that make up the downtown and there are so many great places to shop there. This is from the bottom of Lake Street looking east and yes, it is a hill. The bay is to the west and there are great views from all over down here. (Oh, and did you notice? No snow piles!! There are still a few flakes falling right now, but hopefully they won't stay long.)

Dinner on the Porch!

I went to dinner at Roast & Toast the other night and had my favorite thing--a Lake Street salad. Roast & Toast is located on Lake Street, one of the main shopping streets downtown. The salad is romaine lettuce with mozzarella, dried cherries, chicken, and a cherry-lemon vinaigrette (with a sourdough bread crust on the side). It was yummy! It was finally nice enough to eat out on their back porch which has a view of the bay as well. Such a nice relaxing dinner--by myself, no less!! I had a lovely time eating and reading a book.
