It's obvious to most of you who read here on a regular basis that my real life experiences at times end up being a blog post. This isn't something I usually set out to do on purpose but I do think about blogging and local politics in my real life. For those who have met me or talked with me, you know what I'm like as far as promoting the internet, blogs and buying local.
I briefly mentioned the other day on my other blog about a local business that my youngest daughter, Aubrey and I discovered the other day. Boyd's Candy Shop which is on Woodsdale near the corner of Arlington and Woodsdale. Today was our third visit and each time as I go I of course chit chat more with the owner while we are waiting for Aubrey to make her selection. This particular location has been opened for about three months and he has another location on Reynolds Road. He lives near the Arlington location and his goal is to make children happy (and some of us adults as well) by giving them a place where for even a nickle they can have a piece of candy along with a smile.
I told him a little about what I do, and asked him if he has a website. I told him my interest in supporting local businesses and how much I appreciate what he is doing. He is working on creating a website, so more information will follow. However if you do love some of the same candies that I do like Squirrel Nut Zippers, Mary Janes and BB Bats plus much more (he has close to 200 different types of candy) head on over. He's open from noon until 8 and tell him the "blogger" sent you.

Yep, he's on the other corner next to the Carry out. Have not tried their pizza yet or their wings now I will have to see if they still have the desert pizzas.

Sounds like the new neighborhood is already benefiting from the presence of "The Blogger..."

So far they have not appeared with pitchforks and burning torches...
I'm looking forward to trying them even more now Do. Miguel and I commented on our last walk that we wanted to try their wings as well as their pizza.

Welcome to the neighborhood! I live off of S.Detroit just north of Arlington abutting Swan Creek.
I have eaten SouthEnd Pizza's aplenty and can attest to their quality. Unless they changed, bring cash as they don't do checks or credit cards. I have not visited the Candy store yet. Where exactly is it located?
If you ever have a chance to speak with the owners of Sammy's take them up on it. I have been stopping in this carry-out for years and always found them to be friendly. They are Arab-Americans with a passion for their country. You might get a nice Blog article out-of-them.
