    Had a great visit to this one after eating next door. We grabbed some fudge and my wife was able to…read morefind some fun thing for the front of the house going into fall :) Pretty sure we were talking to the owner, she was super nice! We will be back to this one again as well. Near laid out store, lots of seating upstairs with tons of outdoor stuff or things for around the house. Worth a visit :)

    Just visited 1904 General Store for the first time…read more I visited downtown Alton yesterday -- for the first time in years. Decided to check out the general store as soon as I saw it -- it's a cool, welcoming old building. The first floor is full of candy, chocolate, fudge, ice cream, and other treats. I picked out some candy and sampled some delicious Belgian chocolate bars. I bought one for me, but I'll be back in a few months for friends' birthdays, and to try the fudge myself. The ice cream flavors (about 8) were all unique -- you aren't getting a simple chocolate or vanilla here. The most common of the flavors available was a rainbow sorbet. I think some of the other flavors were Shipwreck, Pirate's Bounty, and Superman, though I may not be recalling the names accurately. The upstairs is full of home decor items, including a wall decorated to look like someone's front porch. The styles are cute, though not my speed, as I am something of a minimalist. You can read all about their business and the building's Worlds Fair history over on their facebook page. Hope to visit again soon.

    Went on Saturday to Pierpont General store to see Megan Boyer. My friends and I kind of follow her…read morearound because we love her music and her vibes. Since she was playing at Pierpont in Columbia ...and seeing as how we live in Colombia...we definitely had to go! Right off the bat, this venue is cool and eclectic. The small stage is perfect for local bands, and the open yard seating where you can bring your own chairs and blankets is perfect for spring and summer nights. Couple this with the fire pits, string lights, heated patio for eating, multiple bars and an actual general store... and you get a recipe for greatness. My only complaint was the food could've been better. For the price we paid, is that pizza frozen and reheated? Because that's what it felt like. I did like the artichoke dip. It wasn't soupy like mentioned in other reviews, and I enjoyed that it came with naan! But I found myself wishing I had ordered a sandwich as they looked much better than that sad pizza. Service was admittedly slow, but they were very busy so I can't really be too upset about it. I think this venue is better if you eat dinner before coming, and then just enjoy the outdoor seating live music and bars. Regardless, I'll definitely be back for other shows through the summer!

    Live music, amazing food (try the cuban) wine slushy, margarita slushy…read more The staff are all helpful and attentive. The ambiance and vibe are definitely worth the trip to this little slice of heaven.
