The walkway goes around a large grassy area.  Often you'll find chairs scattered about.

Final Friction, Nature and Feline Friday: Seaboard Cafe 30 years

 Final (non) Fiction Friday.

Click here to visit YAM-s FFF

Seaboard Cafe, I think all of who visit regularly know that we have lunch at our very favorite cafe, Seaboard, every week and sometimes twice a week.

May 14, 2021 was their 30th anniversary!! If I was a math whiz I'd tell you how many times we've had lunch there in the last 30 years.  

,
Rick the owner and his staff are like family and we have made many memories there.  Rick is absolutely crazy fun.  Almost without fail every week he asked as if we have reservations.  Sometimes he will come to our table to tell us we are "sitting in the no clothes required section"It always cracks me up!! About once a week, before I retired, I'd send out an email Physics Grad students telling them I'm going to Seaboard Cafe today come by my office if you need a ride.  In the mid 1990's most of the grad students were young men.  (By the time I retired we a good mix of male and female). One Saturday, after a month or two of arriving at Seaboard with about eight or nine young men Rick was in rare form.  He said to my husband, "do you know she is bringing carloads of handsome young  men  to lunch every week?"  My husband replied, "yes I know and there is not one thing I can do about it."  Each one of the handsome young men always ordered the Cafe special Hamburger.  It was and still is a huge!!

Here are a few pictures of a typical lunch at Seaboard

Seaboard Cafe has outside and inside dining and pups are welcomed to dine in the outside area.

 Everything is delicious.  I especially love all their Chicken Salads.  This is pistachio chicken salad and yogurt fruit salad
The apricot and almond chicken salad is delicious too. 

My husband will either order old fashion chicken salad sandwich, on toasted wheat bread or a BLT
Often we share a cranberry and walnut  cookie.....


Seaboard Cafe is located on the back side of Logan's Garden center.
The building was the former Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Station.
Below is piece of history from the days when it was an active Railroad Station.
My resident Train Brain told me this is an end of track bumper where passenger cars were parked.  Oh if those cracks could talk.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #21

 Today we join Two SPOILED CATS



Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.



Here is our inspiration and my poem

There is no doubt 
I love a dress of  RED
However, others would surely SHOUT
Hey lady are you lost?
Dressed like that on the beach
is quite a far reach

Happy Tuesday Tails on Trails Reminder FFF

 

 


I was rather amused to see the itty bitty white dog was leader of the pack and evidently very obedient.  It was not on a leash and each time one of the ladies called to the little cutie it stopped and waited.
