The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Clutter doesn’t just make your home look icky and run less efficiently, I will point out the specific reasons why clutter can cause mental anxiety and stress.
