There is a community just northwest of Hazel Green known as Lick Skillet. It is a fun place to talk about. Downtown Lick Skillet is at the intersection of Charity Lane and Butter and Egg Road. About all you will find in Lick Skillet are some storage buildings and a 4,200 square foot rustic building owned by Don Williams. Most folks around call it the Music Barn. Some nights, guests might enjoy a local country band. Other nights, it may be bluegrass or gospel. There may even be an auction. And, there is cowboy church on Sunday. Whatever the activity, it is definitely the culture center of Lick Skillet. And it is always a good clean family place to enjoy entertainment and pizza. Legend has it that a fight broke out at a general merchandise store that occupied the spot back in the 1920’s or 1930’s. The store was owned by the grandfather of a local celebrity, Bill Malone. One of his relatives whacked somebody over the head with a skillet that ended the brawl. Therefore, somebody got “licked with a skillet.” There was at one time a public school to the north of Lick Skillet that was called New Sharon. For years, it was a standing joke that anyone who attended the school attended LSU…Lick Skillet University.

Today is the first birthday for Whole Foods at The Shops at Merchants Walk! Can you believe Huntsville has had a Whole Foods for a year? The Shops at Merchants Walk has turned into the "must-be" place in Huntsville and has grown tremendously in the past year. Not only does Whole Foods turn one today, but Lululemon opens up their full size store this week too! I know a lot of women are excited about that, while a lot of husbands are worried about going broke.

If you haven't been to The Shops at Merchants Walk yet, here are a few things you're missing out on. Food wise you're falling short if you haven't had the delicious Mexican food from Local Taco, the fresh farm to table fare at Farm Burger, or the grab and go sushi from Maki Fresh. Shopping is plentiful for men, women, and children. You're sure to find something you can't live without at either Mountain High, Dress Up, or Envy Boutique. Lastly, you can perfect your look by getting into shape at Orange Theory Fitness, relaxing during a facial at Spa Sydell, or grabbing a quick haircut at The Masters Salon.

The more I talk about all the great places at The Shops at Merchants Walk, the more I want to go back. Maybe I'll see you there this week!
