A sign has popped up on the former Wilderness Perk just outside Lowe's on Highway 2 indicating that "Hometown Cafe" is the next occupant of that storefront. I haven't been close enough to it yet to see if there's any other signage indicating an opening date or a menu or anything like that.
Despite knowing only the name, I'm curious. I can't help it; I love food, and this just happens to involve food only a mile from my home. The name has me wondering if we're looking at another Hi-Way Diner or the next Stauffer's, for example. Or perhaps the name is deliberately misleading, conjuring up specific emotions but delivering somewhat different grub.
I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Did you see that a Natural Foods store is coming in where TGIF used to be on 48th and O?
I saw there’s a new building there, but I didn’t see what it was going to be. Here’s their website.
Here’s what I don’t get about these stores of the natural foods genre:
Last summer we visited the farmer’s market behind Lincoln Racquet Club at 56th & Old Cheney. It was a hot day. My 3-yr-old daughter needed a drink. Someone suggested Clover Market (I think that’s what it’s called), as they had cheap, cold bottled water. So we wandered over. Once inside, I noticed the selection of food and such, but what really caught my eye, was what appeared to be an entire wall of vitamins, supplements, pills, etc. It looked like a pharmacy.
I thought the idea was that eating natural—allegedly more healthy—foods would reduce the need to take a bunch of pills. I don’t get it.
