Hmmm... it seems my shallowness and pissedoffedness (is that a word?) has gotten the better of me. Joe said...

"A sign…saying that this Starbucks would close on August 24 — part of a massive cutback of the company’s many stores that popped up like a quickly spreading rash until the market was over saturated and the Seattle corporate office was hit in the coffee beans by the sagging American economy, high gas prices and increased competition from companies such as Dunkin Donuts and McDonald’s."

Or Mad Greeks.

OMG, Starbucks? In Baker?? You didn't stop at Mad Greek's???? Wassupwiddat?

Given that, I'm guessing you didn't travel Kelbaker Rd and visited the wonderfully (and absurdly) renovated train station (more or less) in Kelso. Then again, what was and what needs to be might obviate such a trip.

Thanks Joe, Without mentioning the "P" word you've shown in a simple story what "it" should (must?) be all about...

It's you and me and the neighbors (even the ones we don't get along with).

Welcome home.
