Feature Friday: LiL' Charlie's

-
When my husband and I first started dating he was living on the north side of Indianapolis and I was living in Moores Hill but working in Colerain, Ohio.  To say dates meant a lot of compromise and driving is an understatement, so we found a lot of places between our two homes to meet up to save one of us from doing all the driving.  We tried LiL' Charlie's as one of our first meet up dates but for some reason, in all the years since we've been married, we never returned.  When we moved to Batesville several people recommended it and we looked forward to exploring an old date spot.

Approaching their 21st anniversary, LiL' Charlies has grown from an 86 seat restaurant to a 210 seat restaurant and brewery with an impressive outdoor seating area.  With a privacy fence, bare bulb overhead lights and a surprisingly good view it doesn't even feel like you're in the middle of town.

We've been so many times I've tried nearly everything on the menu, but I do have a few favorites.  The Portobello Fries are AMAZING!  Tender, crispy and just a bit peppery, they are served with a southwest ranch sauce but I now get mine with regular ranch.  For a quick an easy lunch, I'm partial to the Cobb salad and their bleu cheese dressing is great.  Hubs even tried The Demon and said it was delicious, but by the end he was sweating.

We've enjoyed it so much we have now taken my parents, some clients and a couple friend of ours and even ordered carry out.  The last time we went, we sat at the same table from our first date there and joked about how far both the restaurant and our relationship have come. 

LiL' Charlies is open 11:00am to 9:00pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:00am to 10:00pm Friday and Saturday.  We have really enjoyed exploring the new and improved LiL' Charlie's and look forward to many more visits to come.

Tip Tuesday: Spring Prep, Lawn Edition

We're all looking for things to do and ways to keep busy right now, so why not make the best of it and keep working on that Spring maintenance? Yard Things are turning green so make sure your grass has every chance to do the same.  Rake the dead leaves, grass and other stuff out of your yard so it doesn't inhibit new growth.  The raking will also loosen grass that got matted from rain and snow so it greens up more quickly.  It's not quite warm enough to spread grass seed yet (Fall and late Spring are best for that) but  aerating and/or dethatching  can help ensure your soil is ready when it's time. This is also a good time to spread a pre-emergent herbicide.  It won't do anything to kill weeds that are already growing but will prevent weeds that haven't come up yet, so timing is everything.  Make sure to  educate yourself  so it has the best chance at working properly. Deck/patio This one is pretty simple.  Weed in and around your deck or patio, p

Tip Tuesday: What I Believe COVID is Going to Mean for the Market

I've been working with a client with very specific wants for a couple weeks now and they just can't find "the one".  As we stood in the driveway of yet another "not quite right" home this past weekend, they asked me what I anticipated the market doing over the next couple of weeks.  Usually I would say the market always picks up in the Spring and we should take our times because the right house was out there and would be coming on the market soon.  Unfortunately, in these unprecedented times I just couldn't give a straight answer.  This one is going to be a little darker than usual, so here's a picture of the beach for a quick pick me up before you dive in. I tried and failed. For the past several months we've had a lot of people interested in buying a new home but not a lot of people selling.  We've had what we call a seller's market, because houses have been moving quickly and bringing a pretty good price. With the current situa
