Both kids and adults will love Kidzoona at Molly Fantasy on the 5th floor of Gateway Shopping Mall. Whether it's too hot or too rainy to be outside in Bangkok, it's the perfect place for younger children to let off some steam, with a soft play area, inflatable slides, an overly pink merry go round and trucks and trikes to speed around on. Prices start at 180 baht for children and there is a flat rate of 90 baht for adults, giving you all-day access to the play area. Kids aged over 12 years old are not permitted, but if you are coming with teens there are some arcade games at the entrance to Molly Fantasy that will keep them entertained for a while, as well as the Japanese inspired mall to explore.
Kidzooona and Molly Fantasy are only steps away from the sky train at Ekkamai, with direct access to the 2nd floor of the shopping mall. The staff at Kidzooona are very friendly, but some of them have limited English. Although you cannot leave your children unattended, there are enthusiastic Kidzooona staff on hand to whizz down the slides if you are not feeling very sprightly. Everyone needs to wear socks to enter the play area, so make sure you come prepared. There are also lockers for your valuables and shoes. Kidzooona is split into different sections: active play, make-believe, quiet corner and a toddler zone. It's clean, bright and full of things to see and touch, ideal for children with lots of energy and enthusiasm.
You enter Kidzooona via the active zone. Here kids can jump up and down on a long bouncy castle (without the turrets), ride an inflatable human sized-hamster wheel, dive into a giant ball pool and down a small spiral slide. In this area most of the floor is covered in bouncy gym style mats to avoid any bumps or scrapes, and the blocks to clamber over are made of firm but bruise proof foam. Towards the back of this area are the two large inflatable slides, the kind that are usually found at fairgrounds, and from the laughter and squeals that rang out as another small person glided down it's a total hit. If they still have energy after this, they can take a ride on the trikes and bikes that are available in the vehicles zone. There is even a tractor and trailer!
For smaller kids you will find a toddler sized spiral slide, sensory peg board and a mini ball pool. Smaller kids also have their own zone. Here you will find blocks, shapes and bricks so you can build towers and structures and musical instruments to help them get creative.
Kids of all ages will love Paper Town, where they can try their hand at a range of jobs and enjoy the play house. There is a fire engine with a Big Ben tower, ice-cream, pizza and sushi shop. You can even mail a letter at the post office or move some rubble at the construction site.
Kidzooona by Molly Fantasy is a great half-day visit for children between the ages of 2 and 10, with plenty of fun activities in a clean, safe and friendly atmosphere.

A great, cozy weekend getaway!
Everything got off to a great start when we arrived and found that the house was exactly as it had been described. Everything was clean, well maintained and comfortably appointed for a weekend of relaxing, reading cooking and reconnecting with friends. Many rental properties feel impersonal and second rate but this home made us feel as if we were guests in a friend's fantastic country home. Jeff's guidebook provided detailed and useful information about how everything in the house worked, nearby restaurants and things to do in the surrounding area. But we were happy to simply spend as much time as possible napping in front of the fire and eating and cooking in the gorgeous kitchen/dining area with its beautiful and tranquil views! I highly recommend this fantastic home to anyone looking for a great weekend getaway!

1994 Chevrolet Impala Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 1 review
The Impala made its triumphant return in 1994. Not only was it back, but it was back in style: the SS nameplate was revived just for this car. The 1994 Impala was the first-ever Chevrolet to be an "SS," and the first Impala SS in a quarter of a century. The SS was available only in black and was a rear-wheel drive car, paying respect to the SS's of old.
The standard engine was a 5.7-liter V8 rated at 260 horsepower. Much smallerthan its predecessors, the 1994 Impala was quick, and much more nimble due in part to its 115.9-inch wheelbase.

I do like print and fun fabric and even if this was a fabric for curtains I loved to make a jacket of it.. I have used pattern #112 Burda 7/2008 and its a 3/4 sleeves jacket, but I prefer longer sleeves, so maybe I should have consider that earlier.. The photos are taken in Singapore ;)

It is very nice and I'm sure that the fabric is very happy to be a jacket and travel around the world instead of becoming curtains:-) I like the newspaper print and I love the jacket, am going to make it, too (but next warm season:)). I like the idea to lengthen the sleeves. The outfit suits you and you look very stylish.

With the increasing number of blended and second families comes a growing desire for new traditions during the holidays. New step-parents are often eager to bond with their step-children by creating new traditions as a fledgling family. This is not always an easy process, however, since the introduction of new traditions can also signal the end of old traditions established by a household which no longer exists, or has been permanently altered by circumstances out of a child's control.
One way to start new traditions during the holidays is to simply start them. As long as the new traditions are not radical departures from former family traditions, you should be able to implement some new ideas fairly easily. It could simply be a matter of hanging a new wreath over the doorway or baking decorative cookies and giving them away to neighbors. There doesn't have to be an explanation or discussion about certain new traditions, just a demonstrated interest in seeing the project through.
A step-parent or single parent with a new romantic partner may have to begin certain new traditions gradually. Children need time to adjust to blended families, so don't expect immediate acceptance of someone else's new traditions. If a child still wants to hang a favorite ornament of a deceased or divorced parent, for example, he or she should have that option along with new traditions introduced over time by a new family. When the children are ready for new traditions, they will often let new parents know in very subtle ways. A new parent may simply leave a box of ornaments out in the open and allow children to decide when it's time to let go.
Starting some new traditions may take a little negotiation between new parents and their blended families. A parent may want to ask older children if it would be okay to use a different tree-topper with sentimental value, or to spend more time at a new relative's home during the holidays. If a new parent has old family movies or photographs depicting the suggested new traditions in action, children may have an easier time accepting the changes. Creating new traditions should not be viewed as a overnight thing, but as a positive long-term way to build new connections with a new blended family.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

My sister posted this on the faceyspaces today. Yeah, the one who's becoming a nun. I was all excited for a second, and then I was just sad.
"if you believe that men and women and sex and marriage are pretty much whatever we say they are, then okay: we don't have much left to talk about."… yep, we don't have much to talk about cause I kind of think that's exactly how I define healthy sex and marriage. If everyone involved is happy, I'm happy. Wow… I'm so not impressed with that article…

A traditional rite of spring, setting the clocks forward, comes early this year.
Most of the nation switches to daylight saving time early Sunday morning. The change comes a few weeks earlier than it used to, thanks to a change in the law. Daylight time will last until Nov. 4 this year.
It's also a good time to put new batteries in warning devices such as smoke detectors and hazard warning radios.
Some parts of the country don't observe daylight saving time. Those include Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

The End of the Music Album as The Organizing Principle
It doesn't seem that long ago since Radiohead did what was once unimaginable - release an album without being signed to a major record company. On the long march to digital ubiquity as the means of music delivery Radiohead avoided the tar pit that seems to be major label thinking and came out clear winners. Yes, they resorted later to releasing the album as a good old CD into regular retail distribution but they were pioneers and were soon followed with great success by Nine Inch Nails and to lesser success by many others. Both these bands had an understanding of what their fans wanted [price level choice, quality and special packaging] and both bands understood the power of the internet for marketing purposes and direct reach. [NB: Although I believe that the digital music file will rule the day, vinyl still has a role to play and I'll get to that later.]
The most interesting part of this experiment [which at the time, I would argue it was] was not only that it was wildly successful but it laid the groundwork for what I have coined the end of the organizing principle. In other words I suggest that we are now seeing the end of the album-length work as the permenant work, the everlasting body of work that represents the pinnacle of an artists' creativity. I am fully expecting to hear the howls of derision over this but bear with me.

State Fact Sheet
Public Safety in California
- Issue Brief (February 2012): The Impact of California's Probation Performance Incentive Funding Program
- State Fact Sheet (March 2009): 1 in 31: The Long Rearch of American Corrections
- Report (September 2007): The Stanford Executive Sessions on Sentencing and Corrections
- Report (June 2007): The Stanford Executive Sessions on Sentencing and Corrections
- PowerPoint: Smarter Choices…Safer Communities
In 2011, the Supreme Court ordered California to reduce its prison population by 33,000 inmates within two years. In response, the state implemented what is likely the most dramatic prison reform in American history—a prison "realignment" plan that shifts tens of thousands of "non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex" offenders from state to county responsibility. Though the state is providing some funding to the counties, many jurisdictions are struggling to provide adequate jail, probation and parole services, and must now make local decisions about which offenders should be put behind bars and which can be safely and effectively supervised in the community.
In addition, in the 2012 election, California voters by a two-to-one margin approved a ballot measure, Proposition 36, that modifies the state's "Three Strikes" law. Now only serious felony offenses are subject to the third strike penalty of 25 years to life in prison. The vote sent a strong message across California and the rest of nation that voters want expensive prison beds used for dangerous offenders.
Numerous state and national organizations, including Pew and its partners at the Council of State Governments Justice Center and the Crime and Justice Institute, are providing research and policy guidance to various policy makers and stakeholder groups in California as it seeks to chart a path to greater public safety at an affordable cost to taxpayers.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Americans Think Miami is Only the Third Most Decadent City
Categories: Survey Says
Vanity Fair and 60 Minutes have fondness for occasionally teaming up and commissioning a poll made up of random questions. The latest go about has found that half of Republicans don't actually know what GOP stands for, and that Americans trust journalists more than politicians by a wide margin (you like us, you really like us?).
The poll also asked, "Which of the following cities do you think is the most decadent?" Miami came in a distant third in a tie with New Orleans. We're basically the Michele Bachmann of decadence right now.
As Wikipedia puts it, "the word 'decadent' is often used to describe corrosive decline due to an erosion of moral, ethical, and sexual traditions."
I suppose that "erosion" would imply that we had any morals, ethics and sexual prudishness to begin with. Eh, well, maybe that giant planned Casino will help bump us up past New York eventually.

$200 to $1,500 for your FFA Chapter!
Entries should clearly show FFA student participation.
The target audience should be consumers with limited knowledge of today's agriculture.

Quality over quantity for WC at OAC Championships
April 25, 2013
Senior Mason Metts could be an OAC champion in two different events. (Wilmington file/Randy Sarvis)
As the Wilmington College track & field team embarks on the 2013 Ohio Athletic Conference outdoor championships, it will be more about quality than quantity as they look to improve on their preseason rankings. (Live Stats)
"We have a lot of different kids that can be all-conference," said head coach Ron Combs. "We are not a team built around having a bunch of kids finishing seventh or eighth. If we are going to do well, it's because we have a lot of kids finishing in the Top-3. I believe we have the smallest team competing in the OAC Championships. So, if we do well it's because we maximized our scoring opportunities on the men's side. That is why I think a lot of people overlooked us. We are not throwing 50 kids at you; we are throwing less than 20 that has a chance to score and compete at the meet."
The OAC coaches predicted a seventh place finish for the Quakers, and Combs' squad is ready to prove them wrong and bring home a Top-3 finish.
"I think we can be a lot better than that," said Combs. "Mount Union is going to win the meet, and it's a fight for everything after that. I think we are one of the teams that could surprise some people if we put it together Friday and Saturday."
Leading the Wilmington contingent are senior Mason Metts (Pomeroy, OH/Meigs), junior Christian Patterson (Cincinnati, OH/Norwood) and sophomore Jake Sydnor (Batavia, OH/Clermont Northeastern). All three enter the championships ranked first in their respective events.
Patterson, who has the second-best height nationally in the high jump, is undefeated in outdoor competitions this season. However, the NCAA indoor champion is also from the OAC. Metts has a chance to be a two-time OAC champion, by winning the shot put and the hammer. Both individuals are firmly entrenched in contention for the NCAA championships.
Sydnor is the favorite to win the 400. Several other members are poised to bring home all-OAC honors by finishing in the top three. Freshman Leevi Stump (Mt. Vernon, OH/Mt. Vernon) in both the long and the triple jumps, while Alek Erwin (Springfield, OH/Northeastern) can bring home all-conference honors in the 1,500.
The 4x100 and 4x800 relay teams will be in competition as well.
The women's side is a different animal.
"We just don't have the numbers to compete team-wise," said Combs. "We are focusing on some individual events that we can do well in."
Senior Liz Delehanty (Euclid, OH/Villa Angela St. Joseph) and sophomore Jenna Parlette (Miamisburg, OH/Miamisburg) are the strongest contenders for OAC championships. Delehanty has been solid in the pole vault all season long, while Parlette has been great in distances since cross country season.
Other athletes in contention for all-league honors are Sarah Murphy (West Liberty, OH/West Liberty-Salem, 400 hurdles), Parlette (5K), Marissa Bolen (Gibsonburg, OH/Gibsonburg, shot put), Kelsie Redway (Toledo, OH/Whitmer, high jump) and Jadie Riewoldt (Morrow, OH/Little Miami, high jump).

SIS has gone from a Rs. 25 crore to a Rs. 2,500 crore company in ten years
May 03 2013, 15:33 | By Entrepreneur
By Pranbihanga Borpuzari
The year was 2002. Somewhere in the UK, Rituraj Sinha was packing his bags to come back to India after quitting his job at a bank. Post 9/11, the security industry saw its biggest boom period. Everything Sinha saw around him in the West made him want to come back and join Security and Intelligence Services (SIS) (India) Ltd., a company that his father, RK Sinha, had founded.
With his father moving to the board level, Sinha was entrusted the affairs of the company. He got about his job by changing the fundamentals first.
Sinha says he had observed that the decision-making process at SIS was too slow and most processes were cumbersome. "When I came back, I was the only person with a laptop. We were still maintaining hefty files," recalls Sinha, Group Chief Operating Officer, SIS. For the first two to three years, Sinha ensured that they were getting the basics right. "We streamlined and improved our sales processes, changed the way the company was recruiting and training, and even launched new products."
Tweaking and fixing
Focus was placed on getting the personnel on the ground more polished. The IT sector had become highly demanding and they did not want a guard with a stick in his hand. They wanted someone more sophisticated who would not only ensure security but be polite, too. "To get everything going, I also needed to get our IT department in a solid shape. I remember going to IT firms and being told that we were too small a company to cater to or that they simply did not have anything for security companies," says Sinha. "Eventually, we decided to write our own software codes for our services."
In 2005, when SIS was gaining some traction, Sinha moved onto a three-year plan based on a two-pronged strategy. First, the company decided to aggressively increase its footprint across the country and secondly migrate from a mere guards providing company to a total security services provider. During these three years, the company expanded from 14 branches to 52 branches with a revenue growth of 50-60 percent. Expanding its portfolio, the firm also launched cash management services for financial institutions as another revenue stream. Led by demand from banks and their ATM networks, the cash management business garnered huge interest and the company was soon employing about 400 vehicles for the service. By 2008, SIS was the fastest growing security provider in the country, Sinha claims, clocking revenues to the tune of Rs. 146 crore. The year also brought the company to a seminal point in its history.
Leap of faith
Sinha also noticed that security services were clocking growth of about 7 percent in the western world but in Asia-Pacific, it was growing at 15 percent, with India at the top with 25 percent growth. The third fact which struck him was that within the top ten players, there was no Asian company and only one out of the top ten had a presence in Asia Pacific. Call it the foolishness and courage of being young, he says, but there was a realization that something bigger could be done. "I must admit that we bit more than we could chew. I went after acquiring a company that was worth Rs. 1,200 crore ($300 million), six times our size," he says. It was a radical thing to do, he admits.
He reasoned that in the Asia-Pacific market, Australia was most mature and India, the fastest growing. Outside of China, Australia and India put together was the largest market. If you are a leader in India and Australia, somewhere in the scheme of things you could end up being one of the largest in the region.
Deal down under
For one, most bankers believed that it was very audacious for SIS to buy a company six times its size.
Most importantly, this would be the first global acquisition by an Indian company in the security space and SIS had not acquired even a single company in India.
It was clear to Sinha that if he failed, he would have to bet his house and everything for it. So at the age of 29, he put all his efforts into raising funds. From private equity to bank borrowing, Sinha connected all the dots he could to raise money. Finally, PE major DE Shaw invested a major chunk-Rs. 300 crore for a 14 percent stake.
In August 2008, the largest takeover deal in the Indian security space materialized as SIS bought Australia's largest security agency, Chubb Security, for about Rs. 1,000 crore.
"I cannot count the number of sleepless nights I had during those days," says Sinha. The bet has, however, paid off as Chubb is today bigger and more profitable than what it was before the acquisition.
For Ajay Relan of CX Partners, SIS has been on the radar from the time he was with his erstwhile employer, Citigroup Venture Capital India.
When DE Shaw looking to exit the company in 2012, Relan stepped in, and in July of 2012 made a commitment to invest upward of about '200 crore in SIS.
"What we found very unusual was not only the depth of the management team but also how strikingly effective it was in a mundane business like 'man guarding'," says Relan. "We looked at Sinha's age with optimism because he brings in a lot of freshness and is never hesitant to accept new challenges. There is a fair amount of exuberance that youth brings into a company and we feel he connects with the older members of the management team very well without throwing his weight around."
More to come
In August 2011, SIS and Terminix entered into a joint venture to form one of India's largest pest control services firms. The company also entered the mechanized cleaning services space in collaboration with US-based ServiceMaster Clean.
Sinha has, however, stayed true and firm to the core of providing manpower security to his homegrown clients.
"We were the first to enter Tata's Singur plant and the last ones to leave it. From Formula One and the Kalinganagar project to handling thousands of containers that arrive at Mundra, and guarding IIFCO's ammonia plant, the largest in the world, SIS has been in the midst of it all," he says.
Sinha explains that to carry on the expansion, the company has invested '150 crore with a commitment to invest another Rs. 150 crore in the next two years. The firm is now 60,000 strong and adds about 800-1,000 employees every month across India and Australia. It expects to close the current fiscal at revenues of Rs. 2,950 crore. Sinha says that it is his belief that the next billion dollar security services company would come from India. "My optimism stems from the market potential." According to ASSOCHAM, the security market in India is worth about Rs. 13,500 crore and growing at 15-20 percent per annum. It is expected to be a Rs. 50,000 crore market in 10 years time and account for
"For this market to not generate a world class operator is not acceptable to me," Sinha says, not betraying for one second who he is really talking about.

That was the subject line that arrived in my inbox Friday afternoon – the email that followed just made me smile. It was from the service of one of our clients, Plum Benefits, who typically sends me a weekly email containing vibrant images along with the best deals or seats to my favorite sporting events or Broadway shows. This "weekly" email, however, was void of their normal type of marketing and was instead full of words. Plum Benefits simply wanted to reach out and see how I was doing, how my coworkers and their families were doing, how the CEO of one of the biggest insurance agencies in Manhattan was doing. This company CARED.
For some companies, the loss of business during Hurricane Sandy caused many to get to a point where they will not be able to recover. Those able to survive through this part, however, are eager to come back strong and make up for any lost time. It's how the company takes these next steps that determines their future as a business. Those who are smart will change their marketing efforts to reflect what is going on in the world around them.
Following an event such as Hurricane Sandy, there comes a point where life just has to push through and return to a certain level of normalcy. Even within the city limits, this return will be at different places for different people, with these people finding their own path to that return.
For a business to start exploiting losses with an advertising campaign for their furniture company featuring a couch floating in a lake (yes, I actually saw this), the insensitivity and distastefulness will not get them far at all. What those working hard to regain their lives need is a something more like the email I received last Friday. I, along with the masses who are pushing through the devastation, are going to be more open to a campaign that resonates deep within my thoughts and feelings in my current state. What I received from Plum Benefits helped get me through that day, forget about where I was in my return to normalcy. They did it right.
Now don't get me wrong, I will remember the other marketing campaign I saw, but will I ever buy from that furniture store any time soon? Far from likely. I am looking for that company that wants to continue to build a relationship with me, to show me there are humans on the other end of the email, and although they may be trying to get back to business they are letting me know that they're here when I'm ready.

We rented all three cabins for 3 days in April of 2014. My 82 yr old father had expressed an interest in going back to Martin, TN, where his father's people were from, one last time. So my two sisters, my mother and father and myself headed to TN on a road trip! Clint, Charity and Kizer were awesome hosts. We felt right at home. Their B&B cabins are truly unique and the breakfast was outstanding. And "believe you me"(old Southern saying), my father knows a good country breakfast! My father is still talking about it! If we are ever in the area again, we already know where we are staying! Karen Carlton-Park and Family, Forest City NC

We stayed in the Depot Cabin at the Pecan Grove. It was big and cozy and had all the comforts of home. There were things to see and do on the premises. Breakfast was delicious and we couldn't have asked for a better host than Clint. It was a shame to have to leave but we will be back.

We consider ourselves fortunate that all hotel rooms were booked in Martin when our son's college baseball team played at UT-Martin this spring (it was also graduation weekend). Instead we had our own little cabin just a few miles from the campus--it was well-appointed with all we needed, a most-comfortable bed, sitting area, large bathroom and even a perfect porch swing and rocking chairs! the breakfast was perfect both days and Charity and Clint marvelous hosts. Do stay here rather than the same ol' hotel chain if you want a unique stay in West Tennessee!

The Pecan Grove Bed and Breakfast is great. The "Lincoln" log cabin we stayed in was rustic and decorated with antiques and very comfortable. The bathroom was nice and big and included a large shower, and an antique faucet and sink. The country breakfast was one of the best I've EVER had with homemade (I mean hand mixed in a wooden bowl like grandma used to make) biscuits with homemade gravy and preserves, eggs, bacon, sausage, and Kona coffee! The dining room is attached to the owner's house and is also decorated in antiques and beautiful pottery made by artist/owner Clint. But the best part about staying here is the friendliness and warmth of the owners. Thanks, Cathy, Clint, Charity and Kiser. We'll be back.

This was our second time to stay. The experience was excellent both times and would recommend this B and B to everyone!

Decided to try a B&B for the 1st time. Will definitely stay at Pecan Grove whenever visiting Martin. The cabins are comfortable with antique decor, but the breakfast and conversation with the owners are what we enjoyed most. Liked it so much, we booked a cabin for our next visit the next weekend.

Needed a place to stay while participating in a military exercise in the town of Martin. Because I was a last minute add-on to the roster all the hotels/motels in the area were booked. What a lucky break for me!! I stayed in the train station...the bed was so...comfortable. After a 14-16 hour day I looked forward to returning to my room, equipped with essential amenities like a coffee pot for the morning wake-up and a unique antique desk for preparing plans for the next days activities. This B-n-B is situated in a small quiet neighborhood with a community park a block away that you can walk to and enjoy the track, or just enjoy walking/running the bordering neighborhoods. I was here for two weeks, so I got to enjoy the surrounding town which has unique restaurants and the Tap Room which is a local saloon with lots of unique "brews". Clint is a great cook so it's not like you have to go anywhere for great food...(with advance notice and additional charge he will grill or BBQ for you and your guests-they also have a banquet room, so they can accommodate many guests if you have a special event you want catered. They also have a chapel if you're looking for a unique affordable place to get married). I really could go on and on...but I will close with this, if you are ever in the area or happen to be passing through and in need a quiet, clean, comfortable room with a great breakfast and pleasant conversation then put this location on your list.

We spent one night in the Davy Crockett cabin while passing through a few weekends ago. It was comfy and quaint with all the antiques. We felt like we were stepping back in time. Slept well. The best was yet to come when we met Charity, Clint, their son, and Cathy and visited over a delicious country breakfast the next morning.Delightful, friendly people and the best home- made biscuits I've ever put in my mouth. We have already made reservations & to make a special trip to Martin just to stay there and visit Cathy's small Church. And am trying to arrange a girls' weekend for here. I know my friends and family will love it!

Enjoyed the over the top hospitality of Cathy and Clint. They shared Mike's dreams and the collectibles that make this B&B like no other. This place is a Must See-Must Stay if you are anywhere near Martin, Tn. Our Best----Ken & Kay N.

Charity and Clint were great hosts. The train station was a wonderful room and beats any hotel room! We are staying here for future visits to see our daughter who attends UT Martin. Already booked for next year when she graduates.

We make homemade biscuits with our strawberry freezer jam we put up every spring. Our egg casserole has cheese, eggs, half & half, sausage and is baked to perfection. We serve bacon, sausage, and country ham. On the second morning of your stay we serve made from scratch waffles that are so fluffy you can't eat just one!
