I'm not a pizza connoisseur. It's pizza. The owner is an immigrant from Turkey and the food has a definite mediterranean flair. The entire family gets involved in the business.

I often see little gun shops when I travel between Houston and DFW and Houston and New Braunfels. I stay off the interstates and this time I was going to a restaurant that was on I45 and Hwy 79. I went west from Hwy 75 to get to the cafe and saw a sign for Buffalo Sporting Goods. On the way back to Hwy 75 I pulled in. I was so glad I did. It was the nicest Mom and Pop gun store I've run across. Lots of firearms both new and used full cases of pistols and revolvers. The best part was conversing with the owner, Archie. I hear on a lot of gun forums I'm on about snotty and arrogant people in gun stores and have had my share, too. The guy was just a joy to talk to. I shared some of my experiences when I sold guns in the 60's and 70's and he shared a few as well from his 47 years in business. He showed me a beautiful Belgium Browning 30.06 bolt action and said he had a Colt Sauer in back he was working on. Not a testimonial for anything or an endorsement; just wanted to share a nice experience in a small town gun shop and meeting a nice fellow firearm enthusiast.
My place is 18 miles s.e. of Buffalo. Next time you should try the salmon alfredo at Mickey's pizza. Follow it with baclava for dessert.
