The priority of design looks to golf and hanging out before, during & after golf. However, the salads looked and were reported to be very good. The fried fish sandwich looked huge and reported to be good. My "barn" sandwich was a bacon cheeseburger letdown. I did my usual and asked for what looked to be the special item, but received nothing special. Service was with a country cutie that also is hair stylist and mother... she was a natural multitasker and able to please all.

A fun course yet challenging from 4 sets of tees, many of them re-sodded late summer. 18 holes with a links feel on the newer front nine but nicely tree lined fairways on the back. Open year round too and play moves quickly due to playable rough and limited hazards. The bar and restaurant are not fancy but the food is freshly cooked and very good, plus reasonably priced. The staff is pleasant and helpful. Out in the country but well worth the drive.

One review of an aging bowling alley and obviously written by someone having a bad day. let me…read moreenlighten you with the truth. I walked into the alley for my first time today, and given the fact that this place has been here for countless years, its actually pretty updated for such an old alley. we were greeted almost instantly when we walked into the door, and within a few minutes of entering the building were were assigned to our lane. The lanes are obviously maintained regularly, and the scoring is updated and modern. it even takes your picture before you start so that your face shows up in the graphics on the screen, which I thought was a nice touch, especially for families and kids when they bowl. I didn't eat at the snack bar, however it was run by someone who in fact paid attention to ALL that came to the counter, and she did it with a smile. our lanes had one or two issues, but with one trip to the desk all was taken care of. we didn't have any issues with game play or having to reset after each game as previously stated, sounds like they upgraded the scoring... didn't see any chairs with holes in them as stated in the previous review, so apparently they have been upgraded as well. and the teens that were working there were friendly and pleasant to deal with. they offer open play on a regular basis, and they have special events ( cosmic bowl, crazy bowl) on occasions. if you want a pristine bowling alley, with fully upgraded lanes, and higher prices for bowling, there are plenty of Brunswick Zones out there to take your 20 something attitude and put it to use. if you want a clean comfortable place to bowl, then by all means check out Quonset, they have what your looking for.

This gym has 2 levels that offers anything you could think of! I love that it's two levels so even though it's busy, you can get away to the second level & not feel so compact. The free weight section could be a little bigger in my option because that's probably the most popular. But there's a meter on the app that will let you know how just the gym is which is a really nice feature to add. The gym & locker rooms are always clean, the spa area is also very clean! I always have goodluck with service when I go. If you're suspect about it, you can go do a tour before you commit!

Ste. Genevieve National Historic Park loosely reminds me of Harpers Ferry, in the sense that it's…read morenot just one spot - it's an entire town where you can completely surround yourself in the history of the era by strolling the streets and looking at the historic buildings. It is the oldest permanent settlement in Missouri, originally French-owned post-Colonial contact, and it became part of the US as a portion of the Louisiana Purchase. There is some unique architecture to be seen, via a mix of National Park Service, local services, and some privately held properties. The Welcome Center is a must stop when you get into town, as this is the combined location where both the representatives of the National Park Service and local tourism are situated. They can answer questions and get you situated. It's also where you can watch the park film, see some exhibits, including a large and impressive diorama of the town in 1832, and find the gift shop and clean restrooms. The rangers also pointed us towards the location of a fun hands-on boat building activity with a ranger on the porch of one of the historic buildings that the NPS administers. It also has a nice parking lot available.

Disclaimer: This is more of a review of the fantastic people who staff the NPS and represent Ste…read more Genevieve, but contains good info for any interested in visiting or watching the Parked at Home talks about this national park. I'm a Providence transplant but after 25 years living in RI, I figured I knew a decent amount of the history around town and neighboring cities. I did not expect to learn so much about our own little Ocean State when tuning in to listen to a chat about what we have in common with a national park all the way out in Missouri. Before we get into any details, the hosts deserve so much credit for doing this, and they do a fantastic job presenting material that might be an educational lesson but felt more laid back. Although I didn't actually hear "Hey! we think this is neat, you probably will too", that's the atmosphere I feel. When people are passionate about something, it shows through in the energy they use when they get to share the things they care about. Our first host, Andrew, sets up the Blackstone river / Slatersville / Woonsocket history of New England mill life and Claire from Ste. Genevieve slides in to share history, parallels, and modern perspectives from out in Missouri. Andrew then jumps back in to connect a few more of the similarities with Rhode Island's immigrant roots and how they shaped modern institutions and the people they influenced. For being 1000 miles apart, the farming and mining lives of these early Americans were remarkably similar. A warning about a tough topic for kids, slavery is touched upon in a couple of spots. As critical and important as it is for me to hear and discuss with my own kiddo, it may be best for other parents to be prepared if making this a family listening experience. One thing I don't think I ever really visualized was the shifting nature of territories during this history. Claire offers a couple of maps that really gives a sense of how different influences shaped these regions and how it carries over into modern settlements. One of the things that I thought could have made the presentation a little more rich would be more images. Both hosts do offer shots of people and historic buildings, but with little info identifying them or their significance, I had hoped to see more in detail. We live in an age where we can explore any place from our couch, so to be fair, I suppose this is why they want us to get off the couch and go visit! Sort of related, for any of you Rhode Islanders out there with French Canadian roots, I definitely recommend checking out the Woonsocket museum Andrew references. And an inside tip from a food guy: Head to Ye Old English for lunch after, fish and chips is what they do. All told, good listen and unexpectedly entertaining, worth checking out others in the series if you are a history buff or scouting the next place to take the family for summer vacation. Blackstone NPS has its own YouTube channel with past parked at home talks, all about the same hour in length, and you can find this one here. I'll be tuned in to hear next week's live one on Thursday, can't ask questions from a pre-recorded video!

There has been a new fitness center that open in Red Bud about a year ago. I had been wanting to…read moretry it, but I felt a little intimidated by the nature of the center. Today the owner was offering a free session, so I thought this was the time. I walked in and was greeted right away by the owner. The music was blaring, weights were being dropped and lots of grunting and groaning. The other new attendees arrived and the class got busy. We started with a great warm up, and got into the workout. Normally the owner/trainer post the WOD, workout of the day and a big board and you get busy. The owner/trainer explained each exercise, he patiently gave modifications for those that were struggling. The workout took about 30 minutes to complete. It was a great session, but not my type of fitness center. I will stick with the YMCA, but I am REALLY glad that I was brave and gave it a try.

They were all redone due to a huge mix up while watering. That's tough to come back from but i think they did a pretty good job. This course lacks trees, but does not lack WIND. Boy oh boy does it blow lol. Fairways are always in great shape and the rough is always dangerous. As far as service goes, I've not always been a fan. The club pro has made me, and others I've talked to, feel like they didn't want us there. Awfully condescending for a club pro and doesn't not exactly promote you becoming a member. Several people there treat you "less than" and it's a bit troubling when you spend your money to play there, only to feel uncomfortable. This isn't the kind of experience I enjoy, and neither do others. It's unfortunate but unavoidable at some places. All in all, I do recommend playing here, but I don't know that I would choose this club over others in the area. I've had much better experiences at other courses.
