Ben Rector "Songs That Duke Wrote"

Chances are if you are reading this, you're already one of Ben Rector's biggest fans or his fiance... So since you've already heard of Ben and probably know all the details about him, we really just wanted to say on the record that we think his new album is lovely. Wonderful. Tasteful. To Die For. Basically, we can't get enough of Ben Rector's "Songs That Duke Wrote." Do we have our favorites? You might ask.... We do indeed.

Ben, keep doing whatever you are doing to produce those adorable love songs with that sultry pop voice of yours. Keep turning every musical note you touch into gold. -Lucas

We also would love to make a shout out to our most avid blog supporter, Hillary Swanton, who just happens to also be the future Mrs. Rector. We think you are really really great.

Little Bread Company (aka. Block St. Bakery)

First of all, let us start by putting your mind at ease and saying that it isn't closed, this is just the only picture we could find... Block street, which is right off Dickson, has a quaint bakery/restaurant called the Little Bread Company. The atmosphere is very layed back, trendy and comfortable. Definitely a fun place to just go sit and talk or get a quick bite to eat. If you happen to stop in early in the day, you might be lucky enough to encounter some of Fayetteville's most hippie, granola, and just generally awesome residents. Block Street Bakery, as it is also known, has tons of charm and character. After several visits, we've come to the conclusion that their breakfast and dinner (which is a brand new addition!) are fantastic, while the lunch menu is a little lacking. An employee said of their new dinner menu, "We've got the best pizza this side of the Mississippi."Lucas, while he can't vouch for the surrounding area, agrees that it is possibly the best pizza in Fayetteville. He recommends the Hawaiian pizza. Rebekah also agrees that the pizza is delicious, plus, you can buy it by the slice, which always makes life easier. Her favorite part of the entire restaurant, however, is the outside patio and courtyard.
We give the Little Bread Company:
10 for atmosphere
8 for food quality
9 for food presentation
8 for cleanliness
