While most people have gone digital when it comes to both music and reading, Rainbow Records caters to those that maintain their affinity for retro and all things vinyl and print. This store sells both new and previously owned, but in good condition books, CDs, cassettes, and LPs. They will also purchase your music and/or book collection if you are looking to sell. If they do not have what you are looking for in-house, they will find and order it for you.

Rainbow Records is also a popular place to get away from it all and hang out for a while. You can peruse their current collections, or ask questions and spark up a conversation with other music and book lovers. The staff believes that one book or piece of music can change your life and are there to help you find the right one to do so.

While they do have traditional cheese and pepperoni pies, The Wood Fired Pizza shop is most noted for their specialty pies, like the Fight Blue Hen with ingredients like grilled marinated chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, gorgonzola cheese, roasted garlic olive oil, shredded mozzarella. The Besto Pesto features house-made basil and toasted walnut pesto, grilled marinated chicken, sweet and spicy peppadew peppers, red onions, tomato sauce, and shredded mozzarella for a new twist on an old favorite.

The Wood Fired Pizza Shop gives customers the option of ordering all of their pies gluten free. However, be aware that while the dough is gluten free, the kitchen is not. There are also vegan options. Be sure to order a craft beer to go along with your meal, and do not forget the scrumptious desserts!

If you’ve ever cooked with fresh herbs, you know that they make a world of difference in the flavor of your dish. Luckily, herbs are very easy to grow right on your windowsill at Christina Mill! Here are 5 must-have herbs that will add depth and complexity to pastas, meats, salads or even beverags.

1. Chives. Even if you don’t have much light in your kitchen, chives are sure to thrive. These mild, onion-like herbs are a great substitute for onions in a dish, and they’re easy to grow from an already-established plant from your local nursery.
2. Mint. For everything from fruit salads to summer cocktails, mint is a wonderful addition. This hearty herb grows very quickly and heartily, and it also gives off a wonderfully fresh scent in your kitchen.
3. Oregano. For kitchens with bright sunlight, oregano is a must-have herb. This rich herb is perfectly paired with Italian dishes.
4. Basil. While basil isn’t the easiest herb to grow indoors, it is very worthwhile in dishes like pizzas, pastas and salad dressings. Just keep a careful eye on it in the wintertime.
5. Rosemary. If you’re a forgetful plant-owner, rosemary is the perfect herb for you. Because this one prefers to stay dry, it only needs minimal watering. It’s also perfect to add to chicken or fish dishes.
