The city of Murray, the place that I've called home now for 21 years, is a very special and unique town. Murray was named "Friendliest Small Town in America" in 2012 by Rand McNally and USA TODAY, and is also home to Murray State University. Being a college town, Murray has always had a wide variety of restaurants as well as a surplus of shops and stores throughout the city. One of my favorite activities to do even in my own hometown is to discover a new unique restaurant or a little shop downtown that I've never been to before. It's amazing what kind of hidden treasures you can find in any town if you decide to be a little adventurous. Below is a list of several amazing places that you don't want to miss out on in Murray, Kentucky.

1. Matt B's Pizza.

If you're looking for a great local hub that's near campus, Matt B's is the ideal go-to for a quick lunch or dinner option with friends.

2. The Burrito Shack.

One of my favorite lunch spots in Murray, The Burrito Shack, has the best tacos a girl could ask for and not to mention, the pineapple salsa is killer. A Burrito Shack experience is a must if you're near the heart of campus.

3. Renfroe's Hihburger.

Hihburger is the best place to grab a meal with your friends and enjoy some life-changing pancakes and plenty of other homemade selections.

4. 5th & Main Coffees.

If you want a peaceful environment to study or just to have a cup of coffee with friends, 5th & Main is perfect for you. The coffee shop is located in the downstairs portion of the New Life Christian Bookstore.

5. Gigabites Cafe & Deli.

Gigabites is your ideal lunch/study spot on campus! With such a unique variety of sandwiches and desserts, you won't be disappointed.

6. H.R.H Dumplins.

Did someone say homemade strawberry cake?! A visit to Murray is not complete without lunch at Dumplin's. The bread, the quiche, the signature sandwiches are all to die for. Trust me, you'll leave wanting more.

7. Sammon's Bakery.

Sammon's is the perfect breakfast stop in your morning commute. Their signature doughnuts are unforgettable and the lunch menu is just as promising.

8. Duncan's Cornerstone Cafe.

Holy burgers! If you're looking for a quick stop on your way to the lake, Duncan's has some of the best burgers to offer in town.

9. Wild Mountain Bakery & Cafe.

This little cafe is simply amazing! From the unique pastries to the lunch specials, you'll definitely be more than satisfied.

10. Mugsy's Hideout.

Mugsy's is your ideal place to hang out while at the same time, enjoy some amazing Chicago-inspired selections including pizza, hot dogs and Italian beef.

11. The Garden Gate Cafe.

If you're on the hunt for a delicious salad or homemade casserole, The Garden Gate Cafe is just what you need! Be sure to check out this recent addition to town!

12. The Crossroads.

If you're feeling catfish and hushpuppies, be sure to visit The Crossroads for dinner! They have a wide variety of homemade dishes to offer for the perfect family gathering.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
