They were so efficient and good that we had our fastest load out to date. <br><br>Decatur, AL claims to be a "Grand City on a Charming Scale"... now, I don't really buy that, but I will say, I found it's alternative title "Home of Meow Mix" to be the most exciting aspect of the city.

I heard more lines from movies like Joy Ride (Candy Cane), 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, and any Will Ferrell movie you can possible think of. I think at one time someone was jacked up ...

The food arrived instantaneously and we gorged . Everything was delicious, the ...
