San Francisco probably comes close, though smaller. Hm, now I'm missing San Francisco bread...Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-38023685630671891572008-03-07T10:12:00.000-08:002008-03-07T10:12:00.000-08:00Part of my love for NYC — although I'm sure there ...Part of my love for NYC — although I'm sure there are many non-urban places with similar attributes — is that it's the farthest thing from suburbia.<BR/><BR/>Stores are still locally owned; old world professions, like cobblers, still flourish; chains are rebuked.<BR/><BR/>An actual community.

You are right about the clowns! I hate clowns; my kids hate clowns. Bread... there is NO GOOD bread in Pennsylvania! Well, maybe some at Trader Joe's. Or Whole Foods, but I can't stand to go to that snobby store.Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-51252031706348512332008-03-06T17:24:00.000-08:002008-03-06T17:24:00.000-08:00Sounds like your town must not get out much.

I'd much rather shop in peace so I can think.<BR/><BR/>Does it have good bread? Good bread is what defines a really good grocery store from a wanna be in my opinion. :)kerri @ gladoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249455340747273238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-2225177002861344282008-03-06T08:50:00.000-08:002008-03-06T08:50:00.000-08:00I forgot to ask - were there any good samples left...I forgot to ask - were there any good samples left?Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842966282560236535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731253.post-79792973253054593482008-03-06T08:33:00.000-08:002008-03-06T08:33:00.000-08:00Well now, that's silly...if you eat those beans, y...Well now, that's silly...if you eat those beans, you don't NEED a whoopie cushion!<BR/><BR/>Sorry you didn't get the bulk bins of your dreams.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842966282560236535noreply@blogger.com
