Eating Good In The Neighborhood

I took the day off for a Dentist appointment and had the opportunity to meet some friends for lunch. Opening day at the Hick'ry Stick was the chosen destination. There was a steady stream of customers during the hour that we were there. I hope the business is a great success. I have lived in the East Bluff long enough to remember when the brick building at the corner of McClure and Atlantic was the local coin laundry!

The food at the Hick'ry Stick was really good. No one complained about the food or the prices and we all went away stuffed. I really must go back for the peach cobbler - it looked yummy! This business can serve as an invitation to come to the East Bluff for people who talk about the area but rarely visit. The Hick'ry Stick certainly is a locally owned business worth supporting!

I found it very difficult to get into the neighborhood. Traffic was a mess. If you are walking, great location - driving - not so much. Feel sorry for their neighbors.

We were there between 11:45 and 12:45 and had no traffic problem except going the long way around with Wisconsin closed.

Where did you park? Did you have to cross McClure?

It was opening day. I'm sure in a few weeks there won't be the same congestion. In fact, I drove by at about 4 PM yesterday to see the place (had made prior plans for dinner elsewhere) and I could have pulled in right in front. That said, I hope they become successful in that location.

I parked on McClure facing Glen Oak Park.
