Because of the Blog

Road Trip

Our dear friend Sherri follows our travels through this blog and today sent us a message suggesting we get together while the two of us are here in western NC. We used Yelp! to find Sherrill’s Pioneer Restaurant in Clyde NC as a convenient location midway between her place and ours. Sherrill’s is a landmark here, it opened in 1954 at the same time as the highway was completed. It’s s bit of a time machine with food choices items that probably appeared on the original menu. We enjoyed the convenient location and the friendly service as we engaged in lively conversation. Then after settling the bill, they charged a one dollar fee for the privilege of using a debit card, we continued to linger under our umbrella in the drizzling rain in the parking lot reluctant to let the visit end but if not for the blog, we would have had this great visit.

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.
