Rosey’s Review – Rana Loca

 

Excerpt From Rosey’s Review
Rana Loca  

As my readers are already aware, I love restaurants that give back to the community or bring the community together. Many of you are unaware, though, that I love Cuban food.

Rana Loca is another one of the delicious new restaurants brightening our downtown, broadening the horizons of our taste buds, and providing opportunities to get people in the community together.
For those of you who have never tried Cuban cuisine, you are in for a treat. Many may have a misconception that it would be like Mexican. However, I prefer to think of it more like Caribbean cuisine. While there is some Spanish influence, like Mexican, you will find that it is very different in many ways.

Helping to Make Your House a Home
We all have our own special tastes and those fabrics and accessories that make us feel like our home is a sanctuary – a place for retreat at the end of the day.  Meg and Davin Brown, owners of Meg Brown Home Furnishings, help their customers take a house or a room and make it comfy and cozy, giving it that feeling at day’s end, of home.

Calling All Women!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training (TNT) program is designed for beginners who complete a four to five month training program with certified coaches. In exchange for an expense-free event weekend, participants are asked to raise money toward the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS): to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

Over the past 21 years, over 420,000 TNT participants have dedicated their time and energy to train for endurance events like marathons, half marathons, triathlons, century bike rides (100 miles) and hiking adventures. So far, one billion dollars have been raised toward the LLS mission. Although that number is phenomenal and has helped make huge strides in cancer research, we still have a long way to go.
