We have these available at 44 Main St while the last (they’ve been selling fast) so my suggestion is to buy it here to make sure you have your gifts for your loved ones!

We are SO fortunate at 44 Main St to have so many wonderful lunch choices within easy walking distance so I thought it was time to feature some of them. I’ll start with Virgilios on Main St. They’ve really upped their game with provisions. I strongly recommend you check out the freezer for frozen entrees, soups, pizza and more! I like to get my sandwich on a roll. The filling isn’t the important part…..it’s all about the roll! Delicious. Their Italian Ice is a daily favorite during the summer months, but I’ll bet you already knew that. The bread, the sandwiches, the cookies and sweet treats……it’s all there for you.

She is looking forward to days of adventures, a bin of toys just for her and someone to return all the love she has to offer! At around 40 pounds this sweet gal is most likely full grown, we aren’t sure what her breed mixes might be but she sure is adorable. Georgia really enjoys running along the fence with the other dogs here but she is hoping to be the only dog in her future home because she is not big on sharing high value items. We are hoping she can find a family to celebrate her first birthday with- and all the birthdays to come! Georgia is now extended stay so her adoption fee has been reduced in hopes that she will be able to find a home a little easier! If you are interested in adopting- submit an application online!
