Weekends past so quickly and this one was a cloudy, but warm one in the low 50s. DH and Iwent to the neighbor town of Centerville to entertain ourselves. We stopped at Bradley Hall. It is a mansion built in 1909 during the Gold Coast era. It has 22 rooms, which are now filled with different vendors of many types of decor and foods. We spent quite some time wandering around the beautifully display items. On the third floor used to be the ballroom, we found filled with local artist work. Love to of taken more photos, but sadly did not check the camera and my batteries were blinking done. But the above photos were in the entrance and caught me in the spirit of the season.
We then went to another mansion on the North side of the town square, called the Columns. It has many wondrous items as well and seems to carry more of an antique flavor, which I love. Sorry no pics.
Then conclusion we ended up at the Double R, where the best tenderloins are made. They have been there since 1966. Same owners and family continue the same delious menu. Love it! Unfortunately, there are only open during fair weather. Thankfully, they stay open till weather becomes severe. The owner Andy Ragona was heard to say to us, that we were very faithful good customers. We have continued to visit through our high school years till present. Plan to continue to make it a weekly treat... Hopefully another week or two is left this year!
