PLANNING A date can get difficult. Sometimes your bank of ideas goes bankrupt, and it\u2019s another night of staying in with the latest Netflix binge. It makes sense that Billy Bob and Charlene in country singer Joe Diffie\u2019s \u201cJohn Deere Green\u201d painted a water tower. Odds are Billy was in a hurry, didn\u2019t plan ahead, and couldn\u2019t think of anything else to show Charlene his affection. Good News Shelbyville wants to help you write a new type of love song that doesn\u2019t involve vandalism, water towers, or bright green paint! (Well, some paint might be allowed.) To do that, we have compiled a list of date night ideas for you and your special someone to enjoy. So sit down, grab your pen and paper, and relax. We\u2019ve got you covered\u2013just not in green paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1<\/strong> The first stop is Historic Downtown Shel- byville. Browse the items in The Shops at Main and Mc- Grew, a reinvented version of classic antique mall shop- ping. Sift through the aisles and let each of the pieces speak to you as it sparks old memories. Try to find a gift for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2<\/strong> If window shopping is really not your thing, then work up your appetite another way by taking a leisurely stroll down to Fisherman\u2019s Park Dam. Let the stillness give you peace and enjoy the sounds of the rushing wa- ter. Make a game out of who can spot the most fish or find the chirping bird and enjoy the little bit of nature amid the city walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3<\/strong> The next stop is an all-time local favorite, Bocelli Pizza & Pasta Shoppe. With family recipes that have been passed down for generations, this is a meal you will not need a to-go box for! Share a gourmet veggie pizza if it\u2019s agree- able. If someone is a little more \u2018hangry\u2019 than usual, then opt for pasta dishes like baked spaghetti or a stuffed cannelloni. This way you each can satis- fy your own particular cravings. Finish the meal with a drool-worthy piece of strawberry cheesecake and be on your way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 <\/strong>The next portion of the date will be all about entertainment. Wind down and watch a movie at the charming Capri Theater. The theater is quaint, so the pho- tos outside under the lights will be the perfect way to remember the date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5<\/strong> If you\u2019d rather talk and have a more social date, Artys All The Time art studio is the perfect stop for you. This way, you can engage all you want while simultane- ously allowing creative sparks to fly. Have fun mixing paints and creating a piece of artwork that will help memorialize your new favorite date. Make sure to check the open paint night schedule prior to your date or feel free to schedule a private session yourself. More information can be found on their Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6<\/strong> Not ready to say goodbye?Fine. Here is one last pitstop. On the car ride home, head over to Paleteria Y Neveria La Monita ice cream shop for the\u00a0best\u00a0<\/em>pop- sicles and ice cream treats in town that money can buy. It will be the cherry on top and the perfect ending to a mem- orable date night!\u00a0-GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PLANNING A date can get difficult.
