Today we headed to the “big city” of New Philadelphia, the county seat of Tuscarawas County. At a population of about seventeen thousand it’s big enough to provide an array of goods and services. We enjoyed a down home lunch at Michael’s Restaurant before heading to Valvoline for an oil change. Would you believe it, getting the oil changed was actually fun! We didn’t have to leave the car and while the technician was working we were exchanging travel tips with the service writer. Excellent service. We’ve been there before and will return again! Found some useful items at Staples and at Lowes then decided it was time to head to Dover Road Dari for ice cream and iced tea.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
