Sun, 28 Jan 2007 15:38:57 +0000 http://www.midlifemusings.com/2007/01/26/not-from-here/#comment-665 Oh can I relate! My little hometown of 7,000 people is now a suburb of 17,000 people. Over Christmas we got gas at the Sip 'n Dip gas station. Its really a Marathon but it is where the old Sip 'n Dip drive-in was located. If you didn't grow up there, you wouldn't have a clue which station we were at. Oh can I relate! My little hometown of 7,000 people is now a suburb of 17,000 people.

But I remember that the glitzy new donut shop couldn't get any customers in my little old hometown & had to pack up and leave. I do the bulk of my grocery shopping these days in a little family-owned local chain, only going to the big national chain for stuff I HAVE to have that the local folks don't carry. It's just the right thing to do. ;0) With gas finally down to about $2.65 a gallon in some places, I now go wherever it’s cheapest.
