Formerly known as The Scoreboard, Virlie’s has been freshened up and it is now a non-smoking establishment. The food is good and kids are welcome. The Pratt’s have done a nice job in making Virlie’s a clean, kid friendly restaurant for Pbo.

Hi Meg,
You need to extend your fence to 8 feet high. Check out the fence that the Busy Bee Farm has installed around some of his blackberries. Since he has put up the 8 foot fence there has not been a deer in this portion of [...]
