My 2015 in Review

As 2015 winds down I'm looking back at some of the highlights of the year.

In retrospect I'd say 2015 was a pretty good year.  Now I'm looking forward to another new year. 

Dick's Hot Dog Stand, Wilson, NC

Dick's Hot Dog Stand in Wilson, NC.

On Wednesday night I went with Michael and Meredith to Winterville. The Broughton Boys Basketball Team was playing South Central in the State 4A Tournament there.  Michael had mentioned that we would stop in Wilson on the way down to have supper at a place he knew, Dick's Hot Dog Stand.  Although it didn't sound so appealing at first, it was a unique place and the food was good and reasonably priced. Michael made a good choice.

Michael, Tyler and Meredith.  Notice the memorabilia on the wall.

The Hotdog Stand has been there since 1921, and from all the memorabilia it seems that lots of folks, many famous, have eaten there.

Menu showing reasonably priced choices.

Dick's is  known for the hot dogs and cheeseburgers that are reasonably priced.  We each had a hot dog and a cheeseburger, and I must say they were quite good.

If you are in Wilson, I would recommend trying this if you want a good hotdog. 

And by the way, Broughton won the basketball game. Grandson Brooks is on the team.
