Food Scene

New owners & new menu (Northeastern Chinese). They bring Hot & Sour Soup before ordering anything, & when we complimented them on it, they brought us 2 more small bowls. We split the Cumin Beef. As the name would imply, it was spicy, but not exceedingly hot. The beef was very tender, as were the veggies. The rice was $1 extra, but we were not charged for the soup, & ended up bringing home enough leftover beef & rice for one more helping. All in all, a very pleasant lunch, both the food & the space. Nice folks running the place, 2 sisters & extended family. We'll be back.

Arts & Culture

My favorite MoCo Library of all. Been coming here since age 10 and I am now 65, so a long time. MoCo has a great library system with many resources. Back when money was tight, we checked out Videos in VHS Format. Always something new to watch. As a Musician, I checked out Books, CDs, and DVDs of music and instruction. Everything available if you utilize the Interlibrary Loan process.

Everything Else

Nicest bud tenders that make you feel like friends and y'all have some awesome budget ounces worth buying. I'd go broke buying bud every week if it weren't for those ounces. Not always a huge selection but they're still solid and I have yet to be disappointed.
