Square Donuts — Richmond, Indiana

Posted on by kidsviewtravel

Hadley — 10

Across the road from Clara’s Pizza King is a place called Square Donuts.  I personally think it is a funny name, but once you walk inside there are actually square shaped donuts.  The donuts taste the same as regular donuts.  They are good.  They have a great glaze on them.  It has a lot of sugar in it.  Not all of the donuts have holes in them.  The jelly filled donuts do not have holes.  They also have long rectangular donuts that do not have holes.  We bought 6 donuts for $3.90.  There is a special price if you buy a full dozen.  If I were you, I would go there because of the funny name and donuts.

At Square Donuts the donuts are really square.  It is kinda just across the street from Clara’s Pizza King.  We got donuts for breakfast.  They taste good because I like almost every kind of donut.  We got plain glazed donuts.  They were soft and squishy inside.  The outside tasted like sugar.  You could split a donut with someone and still have enought.  They are pretty big donuts.  Next time I want to try donut holes.

Clara’s Pizza King — Richmond, Indiana

Clara’s Pizza King is a fabulous Pizza King. It has good food. I recommend getting the bread sticks. Their bread sticks are thin and cooked to perfection. I also recommend getting a pizza with sausage on it. If you don’t like sausage, then you’ll like it there because their sausage actually tastes more like hamburger than sausage. The largest pizza they have is 24 inches. I recommend getting a 16 in. that can feed at most 5 people. Their pizza has a thin crust and is cooked to a crisp. To get your food you call on an old payphone. You then tell them your seat number and order what  you want to eat and drink.  You order your drinks as one and they bring you a pitcher full of soda. The thing that is special about Clara’s Pizza King is that it has a real double-decker bus in it. You can only sit in the bottom part of the bus. You can call for reservations for the bus. It is a two-story tall building and has a very large parking lot. It is a great place to have a birthday party for younger kids and has a nice atmosphere.

Clara’s Pizza King is not like all the other Pizza Kings. The unusul part is Clara’s in Richmond, Indiana, has a double decker bus inside.  The way they got in there is they poured the cement, then pulled the bus in, and built around it. But, the food is the same. They have pizza and breadsticks. They have all the usual pizza toppings.  The sausage is like hamburger.  The crust is a mix of thick and thin.  The tomato sauce is not runny.  The pieces are cut into squares.  The breadsticks have a buttery sauce on top of them.  They are skinny and tasty.  The Pizza King has three stories: a basment, a main story, and a top level. If I were you, I would go.  Make sure when you go the bus is not reserved. The food is not really expensive, but still cost some money – compared to other pizza places.

Clara’s Pizza King is good.  They have the best pizza.  I like olives on it.  One olive was even whole!  The sausage is chopped up like hamburger.  It has good mushrooms too.  The breadsticks are very good.  They are skinny and just the right size.  Inside there is a double decker bus.  You could eat inside it, but it was reserved for a party.  We sat on the top level.  There are three levels in the restuaurant.  I like the decorations because they were hanging from the ceiling – like party beads.  People should go there because you would like it.

 Markle pool is more like a lake than a pool. It is made from and old stone quarry. It has two high dives one 10 feet high and a cliff high dive 8 feet high. There are two slides one for babies about 5 feet high and the other is about 20 feet high up.There are two floating platforms to sit on. There is also a beach there a very small kind of rocky one. There is a concession stand and my favorite thing to get there is there snow cones it cost one dollar to get it. You get to pick from a variety of flavors my favorite type is lime. It cost $2.50 for kids to get in and $3.50 for adults plus for spectators it is free but you can’t swim. I recommend going on a weekdays. We were there a few days ago and we where the only ones there. On the weekends it’s really busy and packed. I recommend going some time.

Have you ever jumped off a 10 foot high dive? Well, at Markle Pool they have a ten foot high dive and an eight and a two foot high. The reason I like Markle pool is the high dives but if you don’t like high dives, you can go on the big slide it is  about   high.the cost to get in side 3.50 for adults,2.50 for kids and spectator is free but that means you can’t swim.the thing I like at the snack stand is the snow cones they are 1.00 dollar they ha ve a lot of flavors my favorite is grape. The bad thing about Markle Pool is on the weekends it is packed. So, I recommend on going on the week days.

I like Markle Pool.  The Markle Pool slide is fun to go down.  It is a big slide and it splashes you at the end.  You sometimes get burns on your arm because you put your arms up on the sides.  Don’t put your arms up on the sides.  I like all of the diving boards.  They are fun to jump off of.  There is an 8 foot one, a 10 foot one, and a 3 foot one.  At the concession stand I get a snow cone.  Root beer flavor is the best, but I did not get it today, I got rainbow.  There was a snake today in the water.  It is an old stone quarry.  The water is not clear.  People should go there ’cause it is really, really fun.

Popeyes Louisana Kitchen

Popeye’s sells one of the best fried chickens.  You can pick between spicy and mild seasonings.  I usually get the mild fried chicken wings.  One of my favorite sides is the red beans and rice.  The beans are mashed instead of whole and make a gravy over the rice.  My second favorite side is mashed potatoes.  I really love the cajun spicy gravy.  The sweet tea is one of the best teas I have ever had (except for Teavana, but that is for another day!).  The employees are always nice and never rude.  There is not a Popeye’s in our area, so when we travel we are always sure to look for one.  Four Stars!
