Grandma is here! YEA!


My Grandma from Kentucky has come to visit us. Last night we divided perfume samples and had an ice cream cone! Today, we are starting the morning by making a big peach pie! YUM! I love my Grandma!

The Beacon, the Best Fast Food Place in South Carolina!


An old Beacon sign glowing brightly, a man with a loud voice calling orders, two ice cream scoops (counted as one) - this you find, only at The Beacon.
The Beacon is located on John B. White road in Spartanburg, South Carolina. When you first drive up, you see the familiar sign, a large parking lot, and a long ,long restaurant. Army flags are displayed patriotically along the sides of the building, and a greasy smell comes from it. You enter into a long hallway, displaying pictures of the notable heroes of the Beacon: John B. White Jr. himself working the counter, an employee who hasn't skipped a day of work in forty years, another guy working at the restaurant at the age of ninety, and last but definitely not least, C.J, the famous "caller" who is blind, but certainly not disabled by any means. He sits by the counter, listening patiently to your order, and then with a loud voice he calls out your order.

The food is certainly not healthy , but it is good! I was also amazed to see how much food is slopped on the floor! A man regularly comes through with a giant shovel, scooping up the food. Even though the restaurant may not be sanitary, it still has plenty of customers!

The ice cream is absolutely delicious! It is soft and creamy, and they have many flavors: Cookies and Cream, Super Duper, Birthday Cake, and many more!
So the next time you want to go to Sonic, go to The Beacon. You will be glad you did!
