Burcos Tacos (http://www.burcostacos.com/) in the old K-Mart plaza in Norton Shores. I really liked the Thai and Old School tacos. Dirt cheap. Might have to buy the franchise rights and put one in down the street from me.

A pastel of some guy I did for some project. Hope that helps...

The Hackley & Hume Home Museum (http://www.muskegonmuseum.org/hackley_hume.html). Megan and I had some time to kill between errands and decided to check it out. Charles Hackley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Hackley) is pretty much the reason why Muskegon, Michigan exists at all and Thomas Hume was his partner.
Thomas Hume's Home
The barn they shared
awesome coat tree. The next batch of photos is the interior of the Hackley House.
Living room
Pretty amazing stenciling on the ceiling of the entire house.
not a bad dining room buffet
The modern kitchen.
This is just the hallway...
I guess if you are a lumber baron, it's not a bad idea to have everything in the house carved in wood.
And now for the interior of the Hume Home
Brunswick pool table made in Muskegon. Kinda sad to see since I saw they just tore down the old Brunswick factory.

Well, it's been a very busy week and a half. It was good going to a couple of wedding. Seeing tons of my friends. Seeing lots of my family. Visiting all my favorite old haunts and all that that's changed back home over the years. THANKS AGAIN and I hope to be back soon and see everyone again!
