One of my friends and his wife make regular trips to sate their taste for Reuben sandwiches. We love it. You can find a Toojay's in both Lake Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs, the two downtown areas of The Villages.<br /><br />Toojay's also often uses my photos on their Facebook page. :-)Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797176281269170321.post-62197664978802899322012-07-22T07:32:48.989-04:002012-07-22T07:32:48.989-04:00What a wonderful tribute to Sylvia.
