Pringle Quality Construction: Part IV
Moisture Barriers Pass Test of Time
We're all familiar with what happens if you forget that block of cheese that was pushed to the back of the refrigerator, or the fresh peach that was not eaten soon enough. That fuzzy growth that forms on moist organic matter results from fungi that are able to produce spores and release them into the air.

Louie's Outstanding Cafe
When a restaurant opens its doors every day for many years, it is certain that it must be providing good food and good service. Louie's Outstanding Cafe is one of those local restaurants that has been a mainstay on Route 27 in Leesburg for over a decade.
As you enter the brick building that houses Louie's restaurant, you will see hundreds of photographs covering the entrance walls. These are photos of many of the loyal patrons that have frequented the restaurant over the years. In the dining area itself, there are more photographs located near the booths that line the walls. Above the bar area, there are several model ship displays, including battleships and destroyers. Large murals also line the back wall, and a large TV allows diners to "watch the gameÓ as they enjoy their meal. The center of the dining area has picnic-type benches for families or larger groups. The restaurant's large bar area provides ample space for diners to enjoy a drink or an appetizer before the main course is served.

The Melon Patch Theatre |
|
A great way to spend an evening with a friend or family member is to enjoy a delicious dinner at a nearby restaurant, followed by a show at a local theatre. A good meal nourishes the body, and a good show provides the opportunity to "get away" from the routines of daily living. During the last few years, Central Florida has experienced an influx of many good restaurants, making it a challenge to decide "where to eat tonight."
Central Florida is also home to a number of excellent theatres which provide a platform for local actors and actresses to "show their stuff". The Melon Patch Theatre was formed in 1951, and was so named to reflect the large watermelon industry that prevailed in the area at that time. Musicals generally run for four weekends, and non-musicals run for three weekends. The theatre is located on North 13th Street in Leesburg.
