Haines His Way

From Bruce,

That began at a very early age with our two great local markets, Big Town and Daylight, and later, A&P.

I never shopped at those markets and have no idea where they were located.

I just had to reload to read the notes.

DR Freddie you were up very late last night.

Bruce, the site was still down at the time I normally am posting, not that I would have returned last night since I got home from my book discussion later than usual.  I had a nice long chat with one of my newer neighbors who is in the group.

From DR John,

I learned tonight that none of the city's shelters will turn away an animal. That's nice to know.

This is wonderful.  I also think it is wonderful that you volunteer there. 

I like the deli section and the bakery section - but there is something to look at everywhere at WalMart - even if it's just the people.

There was a fish market in San Jose, Costa Rica, where you could sample ceviches made from their fish at eat stand. It is also where I saw a waitress cut those flimsy napkins at the fold to double the number.

I remember a farmers market in Venice that had fresh red currants and gooseberries for sale. I was happy shopping while munching on a pint of each.

As for favorite sections of any of those stores... that's a tough one. If I really liked the store, I liked it all.

But in the very few I knew that had a magazine/book section, yes, I would have been all over that just like BK. I don't literally remember any records in those stores, but I have the vague sense that that's where my mom or dad picked up a few records we acquired when I was a kid.

On my first visit to San Antonio, for the job interview, I visited Central Market. I knew I’d like living here when I saw the golden raspberries in the produce section.
