Need to Know Facts

When we first moved to this area a few months ago, we were clueless. You don’t realize how much is familiar at home until you are not there, and you realize there are many things you took for granted, like, where to grocery shop, where is the best pharmacy, and what is available in the area for fun? I am still learning “the ropes”, and I am hoping to help anyone along who is also new to the area.

So, I guess the first thing that comes to mind is, what is there to do here for fun in the summer?

There are tons of things to do in our area in the summer!

Every Friday night, behind the Wonderland theater in Niles, movies are shown on the back of the building. It is a beautiful setting with the park on the St. Joseph River for the kids to play and a big lawn to set up your chairs or blankets. We have enjoyed going early, setting up our “spot” to picnic, and watching the kids play until it is time for the movie to start. You can get the schedule for these movies, as well as learn about the Summer Concert series and other fun things happening,  on the Niles community calendar.

Also, check out the links to other local cities to see what fun things are going on there:

Buchanan

St. Joseph (Silver Beach is our FAVORITE, but more about that later!)

South Bend, IN, home of Notre Dame

There will be much more to come in the coming weeks. I will talk about local attractions, my favorite spots to shop and get great deals, and homeschool helps. There is so much I still have to learn, and I will take you on the journey with me! If you are new to the area and have questions, please feel free to contact me at JNJBryant “@” att.net. (You will have to remove the quotation marks). If you have been here a hundred years and there are things you know of that need to be shared, please let me know that, too.

Have a Blessed Day!
