One of the best calzones you will ever eat! Everything is good here, but they close early, so plan for lunch or an early dinner. The dining room is very small. If you have more than 4, you will want to do takeout.

Flashing headlights (it's a friendly warning)

If an oncoming driver flashes their lights at you this is not a challenge, it is a warning that something is on or near the road up ahead. Slow down and prepare for an animal or fallen tree.
