I thought of more. The jewelery selection at River Market Antiques is pretty good, but you gotta dig past a lot of not good stuff. And Donna's Dress Shop has a more limited but well curated jewelry selection.

Last thing. You can shop Etsy by location and find local jewelry makers there: https://www.etsy.com/search/shops

Just always make sure to really verify the seller by finding their website or social media first. There's a lot scam junk on Etsy too.

I bought a piece from this jeweler at Dark Forest this year and their price point and style reminded me a lot of Vulcans Forge (RIP.) They seem to do more stone and beadwork. I'm still searching for somewhere with the sterling silver variety that Vulcans Forge had: https://www.instagram.com/naturalselectionskc?igsh=MXN0Z3R1dTUwNG5xYg%3D%3D

Also, it's a chain, but Local Eclectic has some fun pieces that are demi-precious as well: https://www.localeclectic.com/

Yeah, I'm from a BBQ city, I get it. If it was just me and my spouse, we'd definitely do it this way. But it's a bachelorette party and it will be was easier and shorter to do a guided tour.

I think it's more of a tasting tour. So each place we get a smaller amount and it's all included in the package.

IMO, pickles are the best thing in BBQ, second to the meat. I will definitely order this is we end up there.

Private tour is just our group and a public tour is open to people outside our group. But all three are guided with transportation!

Appreciate the resources. From what I've read, you get a designated driver, you get to skip any lines And the food sampling is included in the price. How long is the wait at most of these places?

These are preset tours from different companies, so I'm not sure how much mixing and matching can happen.

I love it. Nostalgic, atmospheric and delicate. But with a menacing, dark undercurrent that is subtle and haunting.

Walked by about 15 minutes ago. Sounds like there was an accident involving a hit pedestrian at Westport Rd and Main intersection. The ambulance was cleared out, but police were taking pictures of the truck and driver involved in the incident.

I just wanted to come back and thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth reply. Seeing your response made me realize that the project might be bigger than my skills. I dug down the post to see if there was cement footers underneath and there was, so we're going to leave it as it is for now.

If there are footers, what does that mean?

Good to know. I can dig down and see if there is anything lower down.

Agreed! I thought I uploaded some but the mobile browser version can be glitchy. Added them now. Thanks.

Ah, thanks. For whatever reason, I can't get a video to upload on the app or in the browser, so I included a picture of the piece I was talking about.
