Favorite Places in the Tri-City Area

Here are some of our favorite places to visit or shop.  We are discovering that Newcastle is a great place to shop.  As we are working to market ourselves to this community, we are finding our greatest challenge is to convince people that there really is a quality photography studio right here in Newcastle.  We are also finding that other retailers in the area face the same challenge.  People generally seem to think, if they want quality, they have to go to "the city."  In talking to other business people in the community, and looking at their products and services, I'm discovering that Newcastle has a lot to offer.  I would encourage you to discover Newcastle for yourself! Our experiences with these business have always been very positive.  We'll update the list from time to time.  Let us know if you visit any of these, and whether your experience is as good as ours has been.

[Listed in no particular order]:

Ribs-N-More - A great place for a barbecue, brisket, smoked turkey - sandwiches, lunch or dinner plates. And, they cater events like weddings, receptions, parties, and our July 2007 Children's Gallery Open House - Ribs-N-More is behind Blockbuster on Hwy 37 in Newcastle, in the Wal-Mart shopping center.

Carlitos - I have had photo customers from Oklahoma City and Moore tell me they think Carlito's is the best Mexican food restaurant in the Metro. I think so, too! And it's right here in Newcastle, on Hwy 37 in the Tri-City center area between Carls, Jr & Mazzios.

Check out The Pit Stop Grill on Main Street in Newcastle for great breakfasts and great burgers, and some really good lunch and dinner specials!

Ferguson's Jewelry - They sell all types of jewelry -- earrings, necklaces, watches, rings, wedding and engagement rings.  They also repair jewelry and make custom jewelry!  Brian made a beautiful ring for Trish that Rick designed for their 25th wedding anniversary.

Newcastle Hardware - we get lots of odds and ends (nails, screws, tools, nuts & bolts, pvc pipe, paint....) from them for projects around our home and studio.  On Main Street, Newcastle.

Durham's - Convenience store; with a car wash, a feed store, with hay by the bale, and usually about the best price locally on gasoline.  On Hwy 37, just west of Newcastle.

Farmers Insurance has saved us quite a bit of money on business insurance, car insurance, homeowners, and a great 10 year level premium term life insurance policy.  I'd be happy to introduce you to my insurance guy -- Nick Vasilauskas.  His number is 392-3606.

Wynne's Feed Store, on Main Street in Newcastle, has provided most of the nutrition for our horses & chickens.

Spencer's grocery has been a great place for us to shop over the years.  But we have also been impressed by their willingness to support the local schools and community projects. Spencers is located on Hwy 76 in Blanchard, next to the post office.
