Decided to make a quick trip in here for see if they had a table that would look good in my office…read more A friend of mine recommended I look I to this store since she has scored a couple of good deals before. For where they are located (it used to be a Carter Lumberyard) I was expecting more of a selection of items. And quite honestly, their prices were kind of high! I looked at a table that was clearly preloved (it had scratches and some other minor cosmetic damages) and they had it priced for $99! I literally did a double take hoping I misread it but it was really priced for 100 bones. Um, no thanks. Overall the selection was nil and the overall appearance of the store was run down. They could make the place a little more inviting instead of having it look as unappealing as it is in its current state. I know resale shops are hit and miss for finds but with the little bit of items I saw for I'm surprised they were as packed as they were.

My daughter has been involved with CTW for about 5 years now. This summer's production of The…read moreLittle Mermaid will be her twelfth play or musical that she has acted in at CTW. She absolutely loves it. Not only does she get to learn from skilled directors and staff, but she has developed friends outside of her normal circle at school. I like that they not only offer opportunities to perform classics like Grease, but they are challenged with other plays that are less known and they have to develop their characters from the script and not from something they've seen already on the stage or screen. CTW also offers opportunities to learn other aspects of the theater such as building sets, sound and lighting, improv, and even writing their own scripts.

My son went to the Fall 2016 session of CTW and he loved it. I was really impressed by the…read moreprofessionalism of all the staff and the plays. My son joined the Players company for 7-9yos. And after a couple classes, he auditioned for the Players company play and was cast in 2 small roles. Every child enrolled in the classes, gets a part in the play. Maybe there is more competition in the older classes? I have no idea, but at this level every kid gets a part. The child can ask for a small, medium or large part. So there is still some "competition" if your child wants the starring role but no one is left out. Then they start rehearsals which are 3x a week in addition to the class. So make sure you and your child are committed before signing up. But in a short period of time (I think all told it was 2.5mos), they put on a complete 45 min play, with costumes and sets. My son was so proud to have family and friends come see his play. What makes CTW so wonderful is the staff. They work so hard to help the kids succeed. I especially admired the patience and positive attitudes they have with all the kids. My son starts the next session of CTW on Saturday and he couldn't be more excited!

Fresh Start Coffee House is... perfect. From the aesthetic charm to the mission, this quaint…read morelittle coffee house is a must! On a foggy Saturday morning, heading South (I-75), we decided we should stop for some coffee. Unfamiliar with Monroe and wanting something other than gas station coffee, I found Fresh Start Coffee House. It's less than a mile off of the highway and worth the deviation. This unique little shop offers artisan coffee, inspired food and conversation. Paula and Vic, who own the shop engaged us as soon as we walked in. They offered recommendations and were genuinely polite. They told us that they employ people who are in recovery, re-entry and with special needs. Their space is available for church groups, community organizations and other community meetings. They also feature live bands on occasion. The coffee was amazing. We both got "Paula's Perfect", although we'll be back to try others we wanted. We got the carrot/berry (Morning Glory) muffin and it was delicious. The ambiance was fun, clean and well designed. The prices were fair and well worth the support of their mission. They also sell merchandise, art and other trinkets. If you are passing through, do yourself a favor and check Fresh Start Coffee House out. It's a hidden gem in Monroe, and a new regular stop for us.

Sooo cute inside! Def a nice atmosphere to relax and sip a nice drink! Coffee was good and…read moreemployees were super sweet. I can appreciate a place like this!
