Kokomo Kids Eat
Chicken Tender Kids Meal from Southern Smackerz
1706 W. Boulevard St., Kokomo, IN 46902 | (765) 416-2565
A last-minute change in dinner plans gave us the chance to try something new last week—Southern Smackerz, located off Boulevard Street. This spot serves up homemade, Southern-style comfort food that will leave you coming back for more. Our kids chose the two-piece chicken tender kids’ meal with fries, and once we got home, the room fell silent—everyone was too busy happily eating. Our oldest especially enjoyed the seasoning on his tenders, declaring them better than "that other chicken tender place." If you're looking for a sign to try something new, this might be it! Check out Southern Smackerz’ full menu and daily or monthly specials on their Facebook page or by giving them a call.

Kokomo Kids Play
The Train Table at Unlimited Chiropractic and Hydromassage Center LLC
511 N. Washington St., Kokomo, IN | (765)244-8163
Waiting rooms can be challenging for young children, making it difficult to sit still and stay quiet during an appointment or while accompanying a parent. As a parent, I appreciate when businesses create welcoming, child-friendly spaces — like the train table we recently discovered at Unlimited Chiropractic. This two-level train table, complete with accessories, transforms waiting time into an engaging adventure. In addition to this thoughtful play area, Unlimited Chiropractic offers valuable services for children. For more information about their services, visit the Unlimited Chiropractic website or call their office directly.
