    Arrived there 1 week ago last Tuesday at 5:50pm. The store closes at 6. Was so excited to purchase…read morea Lemon Pie at due to my Son and his wife bought one for me for my birthday. I loved the taste. I purchased a $17.00 key Lime, Lemon was out. I also bought a Lemon Slice, was not as good. The young lady with the noise piercing finished my sale. Within ear shot, I heard the lady behind me order a Chocolate Pie. The young lady says $8.00. I leave out the store confused as to why the person behind me charged only 1/2 of what I paid. I looked for a sale announcement, nothing indicating such. Went back in to inquire how this could happen at 6pm. She explained; because the pie was a day old....I asked her was this advertised anywhere as an I option? She looked at me like her hand was caught in the cookie jar and says "no". I left the store with the pie I paid full price; which I had no problem paying for, just wanted fairness. As a retired black elder, I just wanted to believe things could change. I guess Indiana just hasn't caught up yet. I probably will not spend my money there any longer.

    We stopped at Marilyn's after coming up empty handed for baked goods at Remus Farmer's Market just…read moredown the street. We were greeted by a friendly person behind the counter and found lots of goodies to choose from. Their pies look great, and are bargain-priced compared to what we are used to in Chicago. They had a holiday table with toffee and other goodies. It wasn't until we left and I read the reviews that I knew that they are famous for their toffee. Something we missed out on. We ended up buying two blueberry muffins and a nut-laden banana bread. When decided between their zucchini bread and banana bread, we asked the counter person which one was better. Her answer was that she had never eaten either of them. Not a great help, and my suggestion is that employees should sample and be familiar with the product they are selling. That said, we went with the banana bread and was absolutely delicious--moist, flavorful and with a generous coating of nuts. Marilyn's banana bread was much better than the banana coffee cake that we had given our La Porte friends from a fancy-schmancy Chicago bakery--and it was a third of the price. The blueberry muffins were good, too. Not sure when we will ever be back in Hobart, Indiana, but Marilyn's is worth a stop if you're in the area.
