Amanda's deserves some sort of recognition, that's for sure. That place has absolutely blossomed big time. I love to go there for lunch. A couple of days ago, I was lucky enough to find a loaf of day-old French bread there. What a find! French Toast!

Way to go Matt and Steph... Thanks for providing a great local bike store for our community. Also a big thumbs up on your efforts in bringing Christian Bands to Emporia for some great entertainment. Thanks for giving the youth something positive to do.

I don't know... I tried to get some tires for an antique Schwinn bicycle and they weren't able to get them in. I suppose that is their supplier’s fault not theirs, but they never called me with updates. I always had to call them to see if they had got the tires yet.
In my opinion, Amanda should get an award just for being so darn cute. Her smiling face always makes my day. The food is really good too!
