Welcome to the 20th Century!

No, Virginia, it’s not Santa. Ronald McDonald is about to single-handedly vault us into the 
twentieth century. In fact, that universal symbol for heart attack is already raised high in the air over the shell of the soon-to-be newest golden arch supper club and can be clearly seen from our traffic light.
And among the hobbits there is great rejoicing (We elves, however, are still holding out for a Starbucks).
Did I mention that I live in the country?
Congrats! I am soo happy for you. Sure beats going to the place where you always came out smelling like cigarettes (as well as the styrofoam containers your food was in).
Now you can jog to the restaurant.
I’d like a Starbucks in our town too, but then I’d be broke. 
TBH
Which country do you live in?
Hmmmmm, at the present rate of development, you should be getting a Starbuck’s about 30 years after we do.
We don’t have one yet.
Ya know that U can buy a good coffee pot, and make your own coffee, 4 what ya pay for a cup of starbuck’s

12 miles? Is it in Cumberland or D.?
TBH
don’t know about the younger gen wanted to be hip.
12 miles, that should be a cakewalk for young~in as yourself
try 25miles, if I want to go anywhere one way! now that’s living in the country
that should have been
Why would anybody be excited about the arches? They should be sued for false advertisement. They still don’t have a hamburger. Roadkill maybe? Huh, Huh? Please don’t take my grandsons to such an awful place.
Bimbi
Travis, it’s in Dillwyn. I might run that far, but not for a “heartattack on a bun.”
Jel, that’s two things I don’t think I’ve ever been called: young and hip.
POV, it’s not about the food, it’s the progress. We are hoping it is a harbinger of greater things to come. BTW, thanks for gracing my humble blog with your presence! It’s been a long time.
well ya are alot younger this “person” here
