I love the decor. That is my kind of atmosphere. I bet the food is delicious.

It's got a rather high rating
Meat lover's haven
The soup
The salads
The rolls (secret recipe)
The 32oz beef stake (nobody can eat it all) done to perfection
Or, a whole chicken done the way you like it
Quite the write ups...and they aren't exaggerating

Yeah, even though they're known for their food, the atmosphere is the draw

It's an old cattle drive stop

They hold a chalk art festival in a park a few blocks from us. Here's a picture from the 2014 festival.

There are some lovely lovely photos posted here. I just bought a book by a guy called David Zinn who creates brilliant art work and juggles with your mind because of the way he creates characters with chalk that make you think they are coming out of pavements etc. Not sure it's 3D exactly but they are very very clever. The book I have is Sluggo & Phil. ☺

Every time I visit this Forum I see the most beautiful photos, they really lift my spirits. Might consider taking up photography . :unsure:

It's easier than it's ever been before. Most people can take good to great photos with their phone. If you want to go beyond that there are a lot of very nice inexpensive digital cameras that take great photos. The best thing about photography now is that you can actually see what you've taken right after taking it. You don't have to turn in the film to be processed (or process it yourself) and then find out how you did.

Thank you very much. :giggle: . Please do take it up... ... I take photos about 1/2 and half with my Camera and my phone. I prefer my camera for more precise shots...

Our local gliding Club

Many years ago there used to be a glider port in the Napa Valley up near Calistoga. I used to love seeing the gliders flying around the cliffs on the eastern side of the valley. Real estate got too valuable and people didn't like the sounds of the planes taking off towing the gliders so it was closed probably about 20 years ago or more. I never committed to doing a glider ride before they closed and that's one of the things I regret not doing that I could have done if I'd decided I wanted to and saved for that specific activity.

It's not really all that easy. Recognizing subject matter. Lighting. Composition, etc. has to be learned. Of all? In my opinion. Subject matter.
