I decided to have dinner at Hieronymus on Market Street in Wilmington. Hieronymus is a local seafood place that has been around for many years. A few years ago the consistency of the food quality dropped but ever since the lockdown started, Hieronymus has gotten...
My son appreciates good steak as much as I do. We ended up staying in downtown Nashville, TN for July 4th, where Nashville claimed it had the largest fireworks show in the country. Since the hotel was near the streets blocked off for the crowds, we forego driving to a restaurant and opted for...
