As a result of the unexpected accident that resulted in my broken hip, I found myself at the new Methodist Richardson Medical Center. This facility has been open for about eight months, and Ever-Lovin’ was eager to take pictures of this shiny new medical center so I could have a look/see. My experience here was mainly looking […]
Alert! A new business called Richardson Mercantile has opened in Richardson. Richardson Mercantile has various small shops in booths that sell a vast variety of items – antiques, crafts, clothes, decorator items, jewelry, paint, and collectibles.

Isabelly’s Chocolates and Sweets! Sounds like my kind of place. It is a little sweet shop that you may have missed because it is located in downtown Richardson (If there is such a thing.) at 200 E. Main (Beltline) at McKinney Street. (southeast corner) Sometime ago I noticed the Isabelly’s Chocolate and Sweets signs on […]
