They have a great lunch special where you can get two slices of pizza (1 topping per slice) plus a fountain drink for $4.99. Given the size of their slices, this is a very fulfilling deal. You may even have to get the to-go box for the other slice; it wouldn’t be the first time someone has had to do so.

Congratulations to all of our contributors as well and thanks to our readers for considering us a useful resource.

The DeKalb Rape Crisis Center will be having their “Jewelry Sale” on Monday, September 21 on the Bandstand on the Old Courthouse Square. The sale includes used jewelry, purses, and some other items. The majority of the items are gently used and a great bargain as most are under $2. Be sure to stop by to find that special piece of jewelry that you just can’t live without. My friends and I love this sale and often find real “treasures”. You will also be supporting a great cause in the community. The sale is from 9 am until 3 pm. Shop early for the best finds!
