“Is my first duty to myself and my family, or should I consider the entire younger generation as being ‘all my sons’?”

Show times are: February 18, 19, 20, 25 & 26th. Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m. Sunday Matinee is at 1:00 p.m.  Call box office for more information and to reserve tickets.  Also see the wall of honor displayed at the theatre honoring current military and veterans from our area.

A Step Back In Time: Parker’s General Store Depot District

December 21, 2010 by 1 Comment
buy local poster

When you are looking for those last minute unique holiday gifts, put Parker’s General Store on your list of local places to shop.

After a recent remodel, Parkers/Mitriones is now an old fashioned general store which offers a huge variety of foods and gift items.   You’ll find natural rough wood floors and rows of Vintage candies and toys as well as hand made items by local craftspeople.  Also lining the shelves are imported beers and wine and gift basket ideas all over the store.  The hardware store is also still located in the general store.

And just like the old Woolworths we all visited as children in Richmond, after shopping you can stop and enjoy a treat from the vintage soda fountain.  Ice cream, malts, and shakes can be enjoyed while resting.

Or you can have a full meal from the deli or hot bar as well as a full salad bar.  I personally love the cabbage rolls and bean soup.  My daughter had the cheese lasagna and ate every bite.

Watch the video below to see some of the delectable foods and unique gift items .  And then hop on down to the Depot for a step back in time.  Located across from the old Depot under remodeling, you’ll be glad you picked this place to “Buy Local.”

Live Music, Good Food & Shops In The Depot District, Richmond IN

Holidays In The Depot District

In the past when we ran through the checklist of locally owned restaurants that are open in the evening, we used to be frustrated with the few choices.

But last week we had three great experiences in the Depot District in Richmond.  Earlier in the week we went to our old favorite, Joe’s Pizza, to have the pizza and salad buffet.  The pizza is always fresh with a large variety on the bar (my favorites are the spinach and vegetable pizzas).  They also carry specialty pizzas and sandwiches that you can order separate from the bar.  We have enjoyed Friday nights there listening to pianist Carol Lou and friends, playing old time favorites.

After our meal at Joe’s we walked down to Parker’s General Store (Mitrione’s) and picked out some yummy desserts and also got some Christmas shopping done.  Besides adding hot foods and a salad bar along with a new soda pop fountain with sodas, sundaes and other yummy treats, they also carry unique gift and food items.  If you are in the market for old fashioned toys or special wines, they carry those and much more.

And on Friday night we went back to the Depot District to eat at Little Sheba’s, one of three restaurants in the Depot District open in the evenings.  I enjoyed a veggie burger on flat bread and later we shared a slice of cheesecake.  While we ate we listened to the live music of Randy Baker, his son Brian on guitar and professional bass guitar player Bill.    Owner of Little Sheba’s, Steve Terzini, said that they incorporate live music on weekends and that Baker and friends are a regular there at least once a month. (see video below)

Shops open later for the holiday season…

Not only are there great places to eat, but there are shops open later for the holiday season.  Across the street from Little Sheba’s you will find Richmond Furniture Gallery open and ready for business.  Right next to Sheba’s is The Good Life Emporium has natural cotton t-shirts, jackets, mugs and more.  One idea is to go early to shop at stores, like the Railroad Store and antique shops, that close at 6:00 and then have dinner after.

In the video below you can see and hear Randy Baker and friends.  (Little Sheba’s was packed last Friday so you will also hear the background noise of people having a great time).  Enjoy the video and remember the next time you are looking for a great food experience in the evening–check out one of the restaurants at the Depot District in Richmond IN.
