These were people that understood that their childrens, and grandchildrens future’s are being spent. Anyways, here is the movie

Pricing is reasonable for the area, which is refreshing to see. Those that are tobacco users can confirm as well, that smoke shops are usually expensive in price. Where as this store is on the inexpensive side, in the local

Michael D's Eatery in Coeur d Alene

December 8, 2008

In my opinion there is not a whole lot to choose from as far as breakfast food is concerned. I had been meeting with a group of guys on Thursday mornings for the last year at Denny’s, and it was making us sick. I got to the point where I not only felt like I was sick, but that I needed to sleep for the rest of the day after

Takara – Japanese Cuisine

When I visit restaurants and coffee shops I judge them by a number of things. Obviously, the service, food, cleanliness, atmosphere, and the amount and variety of coloring crayons provided are important in rating a restaurant or food service. However, there is one more thing. The bathroom. Now, before you jump to conclusions and write off Takara, hear me out. Takara

That all ended less than a year ago when

There is a little Coffee Shop in downtown Coeur d Alene called Java. Java is located on 4th and Sherman Ave, just a few blocks from the CDA Resort. Java is a destination for travelers and local residents alike. Aside from its rugged atmosphere full of long hair dreaded hippies (not to be confused with long “dreaded” hair hippies…wait, which one is which? We mean the non-offensive one.) and raggae music, Java has a secret formula. Secret formula you ask? Yes, secret formula. The secret formula, that people travel all over the world to partake in is THE BOWL OF SOUL. This drink will leave your tummy feeling warm, and your taste buds satisfied. The bowl of soul, which is especially good on cold winter nights, is comprised
