Somerset House isn't quite a hostile, but it also isn't quite a hotel. It's somewhere in the middle and because of that, makes a great alternative for those who can't afford a hotel, but would like more privacy than that of a traditional hostile. You do have a private bathroom, though it's very small and basic. The room is clean, but essentially only houses a bed, bathroom, and one small dresser for your belongings. The rooms are secure, and lock just as they would in a hotel. However, there are absolutely no frills here. If you are looking for somewhere to sleep, this is will be more than sufficient.

The staff at Phoenix House is professional and emphatetic, which is so important when working with both the families of people with substance abuse issues and the people in treatment. They are very accomodating of family needs, and have several social workers on staff to make sure that families are getting the care they need. Any concerns are addressed immediately and taken seriously, regardless of what they are. The treatment structure here focuses on behavior modification with as little medicinal intervention as possible.

I love the whole concept of "In-House Chef." Essentially, you hire someone to come into your home and prepare a dinner. If you have the ingredients already available, the price for the service is cheaper. However, if your'e going to have a chef come into your home and prepare a meal, chances are you're choosing a dish you wouldn't otherwise make yourself. In-House Chef is extremely flexible in the recipes and menus they prepare, and most of your entree requests can be honored. I had them come into my home to prepare a romantic dinner for two on a Saturday night, and they just did a wonderful job. I prepared the table and they did the rest. The price was great, and the kitchen was left spotless.

Pandora's House offers a nice selection of all kinds of sporting gear, however, they have an exceptional variety (both in sheer numbers and brands offered) of hiking gear. The staff there will assist you in finding hiking boots and clothing best suited for the type of hike you'll be taking. They prepare you for what to expect temperature wise, and often have sales on many of the most popular brands sold. I've never paid full-price for something here, and the combination of variety and expertise make it a great choice.

Working at the Neighborhood House has been incredibly rewarding. I do work only on the weekends, about once a month, and have done everything from cleaning to grocery shopping and taking people on outings. Neighborhood House is a shelter that, like most, depends largely on the generosity of volunteers. They are incredibly organized and accomodating to your schedule, and when you can come in and help. I called them and was pleased to find that they had things seperated very specifically by time. This made it easier to know right away if I would be able to work with my schedule and volunteer there.

Design House is a great place to visit if you're looking to renovate/redecorate a room in your home and just have no idea where to even begin. It's best to visit Design House with an open mind. There are several times when I've gone here, and the staff has made recommendations and paired things together that I never would have imagined working together. I took their ideas home with me, tried them out with a few things I purchased, and it worked great. If you do take something home and it doesn't work out, there is never any hassle with a return.

Even if you're not a member of this church, you're welcome to particpate in one of the several community activities they are active in. I don't attend The Potter's House, however, the church I regularly attend never seems to have group civic activities that work with my schedule. I called The Potter's House, as I consistently saw their name attached to several volunteer opportunities. They were very welcoming, friendly, and happy to have more people to help. You can do a number of different things, like regular clean-up of local parks, working at the food pantry, or reading with children in the afternoons. I find it very rewarding.

House of Hair is an affordable option for both ethnic braiding and styling for special occasions. I know that these services can be costly, especially for weddings. House of Hair doesn't specialize in "trend" hair do's, so if you are looking for something non-traditional, this wouldn't be the place for you. However, for very classic updo's that are popular for weddings, House of Hair will offer a great hairstyle at a very reasonable price. Make sure you call ahead, especially for weekend appointments.

The Cat House will ship to anywhere in the world. This worked great for me, as I found several used parts for my catamaran here, but needed them sent to North Carolina, where my boat was being stored for the season. The Cat House was happy to do this, and packaged everything securely and shipped. I was only charge for the actual shipping charges, without any additional handling fees. They have a huge selection of parts, and I like that they try and find used parts for you before pushing a brand new item. This results in a huge savings. The staff is just excellent here. Friendly, accomodating, and very knowledgeable about boats.

Occasionally, local artisans do glass blowing demonstrations on the weekends. Call ahead to find out, and then definitely make time to go and watch if you can. This is such an incredible art form, and what makes it even better is knowing you can then purchase these items after watching them being crafted. I've taken kids to watch also, and the artisans will explain to them in great detail how glass blowing works, etc. The pieces are priced very reasonably, and there's always a huge selection to choose from. They have a great collection of vases, and with a flower shop just a few doors down, you could have a great gift bought quickly.
