There is a great new place to find wonderful fashions for teen girls and young women. Poor Little Rich Girl is a locally owned and operated store on 2nd Street in Old Decatur. Awesome tops, short dresses, hand bags, and oh la la! Jewelery! I will post more about them in the next few days, I just really wanted to start getting the word out there! I will also have the hours of operation, address, and contact information posted here.
Shop your Electricity August 18, 2008

Ok, when we move there are a lot of things that we think about. School systems, main roads, close to work, shopping and such. But did you know that here in Decatur there are two separate company’s that you could end up with your electric service from? It’s true.
On the edge of town, opposite of Madison/Huntsville area, you may end up with Joe Wheeler Electric. Inside of Decatur you should have Decatur Utilities. My personal recommendation is Decatur Utilities. When I first moved here I lived in Wheeler Estates Apartments and had Joe Wheeler Electric. I didn’t know any better! After meeting people around town and comparing notes I discovered that the general consensus is that Decatur Utilities is cheaper. Well everyone, from my own experience (I know live near Decatur Hospital) I can tell you that Decatur Utilities IS cheaper! So much so in fact that last year when I was looking for a new place to move to my first question was always ‘Is it Decatur Utilities or Joe Wheeler Electric?’. If they said Joe Wheeler, I said ‘never mind’.
So I just want to remind you that when you are on your hunt for a home or apartment, or anywhere you rest your head for that matter, go ahead and ask which electric service you will get. At the very least you will have a heads up!

Great Drive Through Mexican Food May 2, 2008

If you are like me, from Southern California, then you have a certain standard you are used to for Mexican food quick. You know, the drive through taco places that you can get anything from a carne asada burrito, taquitos, carnitas, or carne asada chips or fries. If you are also like me, when you moved here to Decatur Alabama you started going through withdrawals!!!!!!!!!
Do I have a find for you! I found a place, right here in Decatur, that has great carne asada tacos, omfg drool worthy tamales, and while there carne asada burrito isn’t quite what I am used to, it still beats anything else here and is worth a try!
El Palomino Taqueria Mexican Food. Small. Blink and you miss it. But gooooooooood. You can buy tamales by the dozen or 1/2 dozen. Soft corn tortilla carne asada tacos are just $1.25. They have a large menu to order from, but be aware that they are not very flexible with making things that you want that are not on the menu. I have been trying for more months than I care to think of to get them to make carne asada chips, and every time I go through they won’t do it. But, I still always find something to order!
If you do want to try to have them make something specific (like carne asada chips) call them ahead of time to see if they will do it and what the price will by. I admit I have not tried that yet.
You will not be disappointed if you give them a try, and your belly and taste buds will be glad you did!
