I went with a friend to lunch at this new restaurant in town. From the topiaries at the front and the hostess opening the door to welcome the guests, we had a great time!
The restaurant is big and tastefully decorated with several TVs, a great sound system with music and a Sports Bar in the center. On the day I was there, the place was full of people laughing and enjoying lunch.
The menu has a lot of fresh food dishes and I was especially pleased to have a choice of very healthy items to choose from. I had chicken with braised cabbage & feta instead rice with my lunch.
The service was excellent as well.
My prediction is this place will be around and popular for a long time. I know it will be a favorite for me.

Everyone loves a toy store. The Toy Box on 10th street Dawson Creek is one of the busiest and most popular shops in town and a real hit with visitors looking for a special souvenir. This store is known in neighboring communities as a destination for shopping as well as a favorite with locals.
The store is packed to the rafters with toys, games, crafts, books, puzzles, remote control airplanes, trains, models, art supplies, teacher resources, science kits and wind chimes.
No one gets bored in this store, it doesn't matter how old a person is, there's a lot of great stuff to check out. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to look around, you will need it.

Right in the middle of town on
102nd Ave is the Hug-A-Mug coffee shop and it has a couple of tables
outside. I met my friend there the
other day and really enjoyed just sitting in the sun enjoying my favorite
specialty coffee.
There was a constant stream of
people passing by consisting of both locals and visitors. It was great to say hello, have a few
mini visits.
The Hug a Mug is less than ½ a
block away from the Mile O Post that sits in the middle of the main
intersection so we had a great view of the visitors who were jaywalking over to
have their pictures taken.
The Mile O Post is one of the
most recognized and photographed monuments in Canada. We noticed how patient the motorists are with the people
jaywalking to get to the post and also saw a local offer to take the photo so
that both visitors could get in on it. It reaffirmed what a friendly community we have.
Hug a Mug is a popular spot for
lunch. Laurie and her staff are
really friendly and make great food.
