New Food options for the summer
The food truck Beans & Things joins the Belly View BBQ in the area near Kelly Park this summer. Both trucks are relatively new, with Belly View starting up about a month ago, and Beans and Things about a week ago. Both are local and have already become big hits among residents.
Beans and Things offers a variety of coffee, espresso, and dessert items. They are open at an eye-watering 5:00 a.m. in order to make coffee available to mine and plant workers who are out and about at that time. Their hours run until 1:00 p.m. They are the proud brewers of white coffee, which is a more caffeinated variation on the breakfast blend, and I can attest that it’s delicious.
Belly View is open from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm during the week, and has a menu that includes burgers, fries, hot dogs, grilled cheese, and even breakfast food. One specialty of the house is Dutch Oven potatoes, which are made to last until they are all spoken for, which is early!
Both are welcome additions to the food landscape, and can be found across from Quick Stop on north Hooper.
Historical Museum Open for the Summer
The Caribou Historical Museum, located on Hooper Avenue across from the Hooper School, is operating under summer hours. Summer hours essentially mean Saturday, although members of the Historical Society can be available for individual or group tours, though appointment. Contact numbers can be found on the museum’s front door during off hours.
County Cleanup Days Underway
Across Caribou County, cities are participating in their own versions of spring cleanup. The county landfill is observing Free Landfill week from the 2nd to the 7th. Check with your city (or a previous Enterprise) for specific details.
