TX Small Town Tour - Waxahachie!

Want to go on a tour with us? We've been spending a lot of time "antiquing" lately (in search of vintage shaving supplies), and as we've ventured farther and farther from our Fort Worth home, we decided to make it an official tour and take you with us!

So buckle up and come explore Waxahachie, Texas!

It was only about a 45 - 60 minute drive from our house, so we headed out mid morning in order to make it there in time for lunch.

Waxahachie itself has a pretty big "new" area with lots of chain restaurants and stores, but we headed straight for the heart of the old downtown. As we drove onto Main street, we were thrilled to find several large antique shops. This place definitely had promise!

First things first: we were hungry! Our rule while we're on our TX Small Town Tour is that we must eat somewhere that is off the beaten path; a local gem. Ideally, I'd like to find that old man sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons and ask him where the best local food is. Sadly, we didn't find anyone to ask, so we just picked a place. It was called Whitley's Philly Grille. At the recommendation of the cashier (who said everything is great), we both ordered the "Ultimate", which was way beyond your average Cheese Steak. It was filled to the brim with steak, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. It was, in a word, PHENOMENAL.

After lunch we began to actually walk the streets and peruse the antique shops. We found some neat things! Wanna see?
