After church and grocery shopping today, we decided to stop at The Tomato Place. It's on the way home, there are always cars there (which to us is always a good indication of an establishment's appeal to locals), and we'd never stopped before (in the whole 1.5 years we've lived here), so today was the day! We thought it was just a farmer's market, but it turns out you can get lunch, homemade ice cream, fresh-squeezed lemonade, handmade birdhouses and rocking chairs, and more canned novelties than we've ever seen in one little shop. We enjoyed BLT's with huge slices of tomatoes (of course) and homemade peach cobbler and ice cream for desert. Oh yeah, and some banana pudding. Delicious! We plan to stop there during the week now and then, since it's so close to the office - finally, another restaurant option in Vicksburg! If you enjoy mom-and-pop shops and their associated eccentricities, you'll love The Tomato Place as much as we did. Happy Sunday!
