My husband, Bobby and I have driven by Fiore's in Wooster for years on our way to RKO. We've even gone by when they have had bands playing on the patio, but we've never stopped. That is until Friday, July 28, when a Pat Benatar tribute band was playing. The name of the band is Invincible: A Tribute to Pat Benatar and the '80s. Bobby loves to listen to live music.

Getting the Lowdown on Melt Bar & Grilled
There are some places that I have gone to eat prior to starting my blog. Melt Bar and Grilled is one of those places. The first time I tried Melt it was in Columbus with our cousin Danny. It was okay, I had heard so much about it that I guess I expected something different. When my husband, Bobby, and I went to Fairlawn recently, he suggested we go to the one there.
