"A lot of times I go around PetSmart and make the left, just barely missing the divider by Costco, to avoid having to turn left at that intersection. I've seen a lot of lights put up in the last year or two that were not needed nearly as bad as this one. I might even consider going to the mall from Costco or Best Buy once that is in, a move I never think of. I'd rather drive around Home Depot than go straight through there. And please please, let there be left arrows both ways!"

"I was right there at lunch time and because of the brick front, I didn't even notice the damage. I did see that the front door was propped open but it wasn't obvious the place had burned. I don't know what the firewalls are like between buildings but it doesn't seem preposterous that in different circumstances that the whole block could have burned all the way to Gem City."

"There's nothing wrong with Ollie's per se, and I'll be shopping there now and again when it opens. However, compared to what that shopping center was like when it first opened it is taking a sharp turn downmarket. It was a nice mix of retail and restaurants, and a new style Piggly Wiggly with gourmet stuff and a Starbucks. Now we have a Goodwill store, Ollie's and half the original spaces empty. I don't predict a great future for that side of the street. Is Ollie's traffic generally going to eat at King Kong? Is it going to be a big enticement for other business to open in there?"

OK, I need one of this living in my backpack. I picked a cheap one up at Office Depot on their mega sale (16 Gb for maybe $7). Let's fire this up.
