LOT 12 PUBLIC HOUSE: DINING
NOT TO BE MISSED

Toasted gnocchi; how could something so simple be so wonderful? The same was true with the cornmeal dusted cod. And even the
mashed potatoes-mashed potatoes, mind you-were simply divine.
Currently my favorite West Virginia restaurant. lot12.com

BELOW: Tari's "Almost
famous Cream of Crab Soup"
was a hit with the walkers.

mato festival attended by thousands). Growing
up in West Virginia, my schooling included state
history classes and David Hunter Strother figured
prominently in those lessons. Using the pseudonym Porte Crayon, he gained fame as a mid1800s journalist and illustrator-and the museum has several of his original sketches!
Holiday shopping began in earnest at the Ice
House Co-Op Gallery, sited within a former building used for cold storage of apples in the early
1900s. The works of more than 30 artists who live
within 50 miles of the town are on display and
Laurie found an item she thought would be appreciated by her brother and another destined for
a cousin.
Jeanne Mozier calls Independence Street the
town's "quirky street" because of its painted
parking meters and dissimilar mix of businesses.
Black Cat Music Shop ("Your Local Source for Ev-

erything Music") is close to Hunter's Hardware,
in operation since 1870. Inspired Chaos had an
unpredictable mix of women's accessories, inspirational signs, artwork and pottery. More than a
third of the offerings are created by local artisans.
Next door, Give Purrs a Chance Cat Café was the
most fun stop of the day. The two-story Victorian
home has a plethora of socialized cats waiting to
be adopted. True to its name, we had many of
them purring on our laps or brushing against our
legs.
Mozier and I were discussing the kinds of massages available in town when she mentioned reflexology and I then knew how I was going to
wrap up my visit here. I couldn't think of a better
way to end a day of walking than with an hour
long session of someone rubbing my feet.
