midway.

one of the best parts about living in a small town in oklahoma is classic, vintage, hidden little spots like this favorite of mine. 

it's one of those, everybody knows everybody and not saying hi to every single person when you walk in is considered rude.

& one of those, you have to know where it is to get there- type places. 

giving someone directions is an unwritten no-no. 

it's places like this us locals like to keep a secret! 

with all the people that come into Norman for games, events, and the university.. the town can get a bit hectic and busy. 

All the unique bars, adorable boutiques, and amazing local restaurants get swamped with visitors more than us locals would prefer. 

which only makes places like midway taste better, look cuter, and more treasured.

This little jem is Midway. 

Midway is an old grocery store and market turned sandwich shop and connivence store. 

perfectly hidden on the intersection of 2 confusing side streets, midway is the ideal place for the best sandwich for lunch, a snack midday or yummy homemade freshly baked treats.

dont mind my friend's arm :) 

 The best part about Midway is that it is true to it's original form. inside and out! 

there is still the old fashioned refrigerators, shelves, and feel. 

this sandwich station is home to the best owner and sandwich ingredients in Norman. 

Everything about Midway has more character than you could possibly imagine. 

Yes, somedays small town life gets boring and uneventful

but then, there are places with character, neighborly feel and love that a city doesnt have.

even if I move to a big city for a bit after I graduate.. 

it's places like this that reassure me this is the life I want and this is the life I want for my kids and family.
