***We have met so many great people since opening Halo, many from out of town. It's fun to chat with them.Sometimes they'll linger for 30-40 minutes just chatting. This has been one of the most enjoyable aspects of our new business, the connection with so many different people.

Weird stories...
When George Boyer was a boy, he didn't want to be an athlete or a
rock star when he grew up. Instead, he aspired to be a one-legged man.
It wasn't until he was 68 that he got his wish...
Boyer shot himself in the leg. The doctors at the hospital said they
could save it, but Boyer convinced them to amputate it regardless. Boyer
cheerfully lived with one leg for the rest of his life.
In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe released the novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. The
story was about three sailors who had to consume their friend to
survive a shipwreck. Little did Poe know that this story became a
reality some years later...
In 1884, three sailors actually became shipwrecked and were forced to
eat their friend, who eerily had the name of Richard Parker, the man
eaten in the story.
A man in Japan set up a security camera because he suspected someone
was stealing from his kitchen. He thought it might have been an animal,
but when he saw the footage...
It turned out to be a woman who would emerge every night out of his
cupboard, eat his food, and even take a shower. She had apparently been
living there without the man knowing for a whole year.
