This is the same shop that was formerly located on Boulder Ave, and is still owned by Kenny. Maybe you will recognize him - he was featured on a recent episode of "Trading Wives, Special Edition: Trading Husbands".....Kenny was the biker!
The shop offers a full line of accessories, parts, and some manuals and clothing. They can order parts for you if they don't have what you are looking for in stock.
The service there is great, they have some good mechanics. Kenny usually has several motorcycles for sale. Best time to get work done is in winter when everyone's got their bike stashed inside at home.

I have been going to Independent Records since I was a teenager, and now my own teenagers shop there. The store offers a wide variety of music and videos, as well as used items.
Independent Records is also one of the best places in town to purchase concert tickets. They always have the most current concert schedules, and they participate and sponsor community events often.
You can also sell and trade your music and video items there. You will find a bulletin board for local band notices. They have opened a second store, an annex, directly across the street from the original store on Platte Avenue.

Ross Auction has been around for decades, and I have furnished much of my home with antiques I have purchased there.
Mrs. Ross passed away recently, but the auction house has a new owner and it is business as usual. They have recently changed the auction day to Saturdays, and they continue to offer specialty auctions now and then.
A website has been built and many items can be previewed there.
The personnel make the auction process easy, even for the inexperienced bidder. You are also able to preview items in person in days prior to the auction, and leave a bid if you are interested in an item.
There is delivery available for a small fee, and you are also able to have your own items put up for auction for a reasonable consignment fee.
The auction features everything from antiques to everyday household items, and everything in between. A mobile snack wagon is present for most of the day and provides hot food, chips, candy, and beverages.
The auction house accepts payment by cash, check, and credit card.

Dr. Jagger has provided braces for both of my daughters, and I cannot say enough to emphasize what a wonderful provider he has been - not to mention the outstanding staff.
Dr. Jagger has performed complicated oral surgery for one of my daughters, and provided personal and exceptional care for both.
The staff is wonderful about acknowledging the girls, especially after having not seen them for long lengths of time. The office is always sure to call the day before an appointment as a reminder, and emergencies are never a problem.
During a complicated switch in insurance policies, Dr. Jagger's office worked extensively with the insurance companies to iron out lapses in policies. The problems were handled entirely between them, and we never heard a word other than updates on where our policy stood. The staff is top-notch professional both in the business office as well as in the examination rooms.

Platte Furniture sells used furniture in very good condition. There are some great deals to be found there, as well as an occasional antique. I have found a few really unusual items there from time to time, and they also have a good inventory of accessories.
You can find single items, and entire rooms and suites of furniture. They sell items for every room including living and dining areas, bedrooms, offices, patios, etc.
They have a great layaway program, and can provide delivery for an extra charge. The inventory is constantly changing, so if you see something you love it is best to buy it or it may not be there when you go back.

Giuseppe's Old Depot Restaurant occupies a building that was the commuter train depot in the days before the trains were taken out of service. The restaurant is huge and is filled with original old movie posters and old West memorabilia.
The food is excellent, and has won many awards. Along with Italian items on the menu, they offer a large American menu, too. The salad bar is huge, and there is a full bar.
I always order a custom Calzone, my children get stone-ground crust pizza, and we sometimes order great sandwiches (try the Reuben!), or chicken or ribs.
There are smoking and non-smoking areas, as well as a lounge where the bar is located. There are windows along one side of the restaurant and you can watch the commercial trains go by.

Our family prefers Leon Gessi Pizza to any of the chain restaurants. Their large pizzas are HUGE and the flavor is much better than the chain restaurants offer.
Along with pizza, they offer calzones, subs, salads, etc. They also offer lunch specials, as well as a special for each day of the week - such as all-you-can-eat night, free salad night, special discounts, etc.
Leon Gessi Pizza does not offer delivery, but they do provide take-out as well as prepared pizzas you can take home and bake yourself.

The Omelette Parlor has really great food, and offers a breakfast as well as a lunch menu. It's hard to choose between their specialty omelettes and specialty sandwiches, so we just order one of each and then share. Alcohol is served here, and the Bloody Mary's are excellent.
The restaurant is a converted home of a movie star from the early 1900's, and is very whimsical.
They close mid-afternoon, then the back half of the restaurant opens for the rest of the day - it is a bar that serves great burgers and sandwiches.
The Omeletter Parlor has pretty reasonable prices and the food is prepared fresh and made with the best ingredients.
Don't forget to grab a lollipop from the basket on your way out the door........

We always have to bring out-of-town visitors to Meadow Muffins just because they would never have believed it if they didn't see it for themselves, but we always drop in anytime we are on the westside because of the awesome food and killer Bloody Mary's.
The atmosphere - on the floors, walls, ceilings, etc. - keeps you constantly looking around while you are waiting for one of the comedian chefs to call your name on the loudspeaker to come pick up your food. There is a (1800's) bar in front as well as dining areas, and another bar and several dining areas in the back of the building as well. Don't miss the pool tables in the loft, or the juke box and more fun and games downstairs. Feel free to carve your name in the furniture, if you can find a spot.
The full (and creative) menu offers something for everyone - chicken, hotdogs, sandwiches, sides - but I always order a burger because they are the best in town.
Children are welcome all day until Meadow Muffin's turns into an evening hotspot for "socializing".

When we want to splurge a little and have the best steak in town, we go to SteakSmith.
The employees there make this a really great dining experience...no request is a problem, and they watch your table and time the arrival of your meal according to how fast your salads are gone or how long you would like to just sit and linger before dining.
There is a full bar and they have a pretty good wine list. There is a good salad bar and some enticing appetizers offered on the menu.
I am a life-long resident and have never found a better steak than here. Each table is served with a mini-loaf of homemade bread.
Plan to be here for a while to enjoy all they have to offer.
