I’m a brick-and-mortar guy.
Yes, as all the online shopping goes on around me, I drive to the store.
I like seeing, feeling, buying at the cash register and bringing the stuff home immediately in my car.
Barking up the right tree.
So I am glad new work is being done at an old Central New York shopping center.
Northern Lights, I do believe is the name they used to call it.
Party central!
My dear wife Karen and I already bought some things for our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle, and ate a meal at the new Chinese buffet. I will be buying Christmas cards and such at the Party place.

I must have missed this process myself MBM. I’ve been out doing shopping more this year than the last three years combined.

I was just thinking the other day–we build places to shop, but they are not always very aesthetically pleasing. When future civilizations look back on us, I keep thinking they’ll wonder why we thought the strip mall was at all attractive . . .

I think we must go for least expensive sometimes, Kay. Just musing.

I think we do that most of the time. Sigh. At the expense of beauty.

I’m old,I remember when Chappells was the flagship store there. It’s good to see it being fixed up, I have a soft spot for that place. I had relatives from the Great White North who came there to shop. Thanks, Mark!
