Sidewalk chalk

I was really disappointed when the plan for Pullman Square in Huntington was announced because I liked Chi Chi's restaurant, and I thought a fancy new movie theater would cause the demise of the Keith Albee Theater. I've been to Pullman Square a few times now, and I am definitely not sad about the loss of Chi Chi's restaurant. I still have my pictures of my first roommate, Anne, with a sombrero and Mexican blanket wrapped around her bouncing on the bed to recall her birthday celebration at Chi Chi's.

Pullman Square is really a lot of fun. Cold Stone Creamery, the bookstore, the movie theater, and the fountain in a courtyard make this a great place for an afternoon adventure. There is also clothing shops, a coffee shop, a comedy club, and some restaurants. You can also pay a sizable chunk of change for a horse and buggy ride around the block.

Grandma, Bethany, and I spent a Saturday afternoon there a few weeks back and discovered a toy store. The owner of the store was really friendly and offered us a box of sidewalk chalk to decorate the walk in front of her store. Bethany and I spent quite awhile drawing. Grandma stood by patiently waiting for our artistic adventure to end. It was a good time.

  1. I like Pullman Square too. I love Cold Stone Creamery and Max and Ermas. We've been trying to get away there for dinner and a movie date. Maybe sometime this summer.
