Mystic Shagbark Hickory Syrup
Shag(bark) Baby… Mystic Shagbark Hickory Syrup Purchased at BF Clyde's I know right? What is this page doing here? This isn't like anything else on this massive website.

Polish Plate at Staropolska
Great Place to Polish off a Meal Staropolska, New Britain Ah, New Britski. I could write several thousand words on New Britain’s Broad Street “Little Poland” area.
