When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

After a road trip and exploring the area, Mom Violy requested some seafood and was given a recommendation to dine at  Breakthrough Restaurant .

Carmina is not going to a salon she went last year. Actually, this is a barber shop that attends to both men and women. I used to have my haircut and other treatments in the past. Every hair stylist come and go there is a challenge each time.  Carmina had entered inside Barbero's Grooming Center with face mask on asked the first person I saw who can cut my hair. Julie had pointed to me who was doing pedicure with another customer. Manny said, he will be t...
