Brookings

Well, to begin with, I was born and raised in Brookings. We moved away when I was about 13. This place has changed my life so much. It’s so beautiful back there, peaceful, it’s pretty quiet, too. Moving from this small town to Indianapolis was quite the transition. Brookings, to me is the greatest place in the world even though there is almost nothing there; no mall, no major shopping, no variety in fast food. This place will always be my home. <3

I lived in Brookings until I was 13, and I really want to go visit all my friends again :(.

The closest Dairy Queen to here was one of the only around where I could get a NERDS blizzard. This may have changed.

I lived here too…this is where I met my ex-husband and we got married in Reno- then moved back here. It’s a small retirement community, but it’s cute too. Go to Slugs’n’Stones- They have the BEST ice cream. After your treat, go next door to “the book dock”- the ladies there are the sweetest ever, and are willing to order anything for you. Very awesome. I used to be a hostess at Smuggler’s Cove, a place in the Harbor, and they have very good dinners, if a little pricy. Go to the bar and check for Allen, the best bartender ever! He rocks. And your best bet as a busboy is probably Beau Bond. He’s very cool. thumbs up!

My wife and I spent our honeymoon, and still spend most of our anniversaries, just a little bit south of here, and we usually wind up making it to Brookings itself sometime during our trips to the coast. Smuggler’s Cove, near the harbor, makes awesome crab melts, and it’s fun to just walk along the harbor and watch all the fishing boats come and go.
