reason #4:
candy!
more specifically, powell's sweet shoppe!
if you like candy, this place is your dream come true.
it's a wonderland of every kind of candy imaginable.
everything.
they have locations in california, colorado, idaho, and oregon so there's a chance you have one nearby.
i'm pretty much addicted to sugar, so i spend a lot of time here.
levi loves their gelato, so he's usually happy to oblige.
best part - it's a beautiful 5 minute walk away.
i am so lucky.
p.s. they play willy wonka & the chocolate factory on a loop and give you a place to sit and watch it!!
Oh, I am a sweet-a-holic as well.. and this place looks DIVINE! :) Lucky you- there is nothing like this in small-town Oklahoma!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason you should love your neighborhood is movies on the beach. I duno if you've had the chance to check it out or even knew about it but every Tues and Wed they show movies on a giant screen(although, the sound could be a little better). Tues are right by the Belmont pool and dog beach and Wed are down by Shoreline Village. It's FREE and a fun way to watch some classics-last night was Jurassic Park. I'm from LB myself and this is def one of the things I look forward to when summer comes around.
