The convenient store next to Sushi Avenue on The Square?
The Marathon!
Gotta go with my ever faithful, neighborhood Hop n’ Shop. Get hoppin’!
Ding ding!
Gotta love a place where High Times and Highlights are right next to each other–we all define “high” differently, I guess?
Next to the Starbux cafe in Kroger?
Only in Decatur….!!
I like the irony of the topics at the top of each magazine…
“What did the green grape say to the purple grape?”
vs.
“Feminized vs. regular seeds.”
Would love to know which of the four magazines visible sold the most (if any) copies. My guess would be
1. High Times 2. Highlights 3. Wired 4. Country Weekly.
Hop n” Shop is a great place.
With a bow toward Lyrics Only Guy:
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Jerry Garcia
You told me goodbye
How was I to know
You didn’t mean goodbye
You meant please don’t let me go
I was having a high time
Living the good life
Well I know
The wheels are muddy
Got a ton of hay
Now listen here baby
‘Cause I mean what I say
I’m having a hard time
Living the good life
Well I know
I was losing time, I had nothing to do
No-one to fight, I came to you
Wheels broke down, the leader won’t draw
The line is busted, the last one I saw
Tomorrow comes trouble (note 1)
Tomorrow comes pain
Now don’t think too hard, baby
‘Cause you know what I’m saying
I could show you a high time
Living the good life
Don’t be that way
Nothing’s for certain
It could always go wrong
Come in when it’s raining
Go on out when it’s gone
We could have us a high time
Living the good life
Well I know
I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Don’t hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud, baby
-The Rolling Stones
Hah! Hearted.
Fun! Our very small town posts a photo in each monthly town newsletter (a printed copy arrives via USPS mail) and it’s called “Where is it?” The photographer asks “where was I standing and what direction was I facing?” Of course, this presumes people know which way is north! If you email him the correct answer, with your permission, your name is posted in the next month’s newsletter. Pretty quaint, huh?
Used to be known as Hop n’ Rob back in the day, I hear.
or the Crack n’ Snack…
The crack shack was the station across from Thinking Man.
I have most often heard it referred to as the “Stab n’ Grab.”
I once raised the issue with a guy who worked there about the wisdom of placing these two magazines so close together on the rack. He got red-faced mad and went on an extended rant about how the federal government is out to get the working man. Awkward.
