  • The restaurant areas of the Mercantile.  We got there at 11:00 and the wait was 90 minutes.  It looks like there are empty tables but I can assure you they were in the process of turning.

  • Ladd cleans up pretty nice.   In addition  to being married to Pioneer Woman he has a huge ranch and is reportedly worth over $200 million.  And was as nice, friendly, and patient as could be.  Stood there on the sidewalk visiting and taking pictures with anyone that wanted to, which was a constant  line.
