Pat Crowley and his daughter stopped at The Vanilla Bean recently en route to Arizona from North Carolina. Crowley told the Vanilla Bean “regulars” that, when he was planning the trip he saw (the city of) Crowley on the map and, after reading about how it was named for railroad engineer Pat Crowley, decided to stop and look around.
