Review: Jack’s Place
The PDF family had a recent weekend lunch at Jack’s Place near the Florence Civic Center. Jack’s has a rustic feel with wooden benches, tables, walls and fixtures. … After glancing at the menu, we chose the buffet for the variety to try out some of the specialties listed. This one has a little something for everyone with lots of Southern classics like fried fish, a shrimp stew that appeared to be a version of Shrimp Creole, hamburger steaks, lots of vegetables and more.

Trinity Farms: Organic & Convenient
I have said it before and I will say it again, I just can’t get enough of our local natural resources. Of course when I say that, I am referring to our local farmers. Lately it seems that everywhere I go everyone is looking for a new source for local products, organic vegetables, or any number of things that are available in our backyards. I am so jazzed over my visit to the TRINITY FARMS stand this week.
