Wegman's
So I stopped by Wegman's today, but some thing just wasn't right about it. Sure they had the fresh baked bread, the sushi bar and the cheese people with funny accents, but something was still amiss. I just didn't feel like I was in Ithaca, Utica or even Rochester. Maybe that's because instead of being among abandoned factories, ford dealerships and mud filled canals I was in the middle of an old farm surrounded by thousands of brand new condominiums, which I'm sure fetch a pretty penny. Suburban Virginia is about the most depressing place in the whole world, but at least they have a bright shiny new Wegman's. It was a bitter sweet experience. Instead of hippies and yuppie college students pretending to be hippies I was surrounded by suburban house wives fighting for the ripe avocado. Luckily my check out lady had only a handful of teeth left so it made me feel a little more at home. Sure it felt good to be back in old Danny's arms, but it just wasn't the same. Speaking of things that aren't the same, I spent over $200 on shoes today! Click.

Speaking of grocery stores . . . you may remember buying coldcuts at Wegman's. There was a tremendous selection and guy who the worked in the deli would always cut a few slices extra to munch one while you'd wait.
There's a place that I'll blog about in the future that's called Katz's delicatessen over on Ludlow St. It's become the new Wegman's for me in a very strange and twisted way.
