What new stores are you excited about?

Just received Morphette's one piece lavender ski outfit, mittens and two pairs of long underwear from REI online! I do wish we had one here, but I don't think the market is big enough.

Ditto with whole foods. Not enough wealthy liberals to make it fly. Most of the money is with the old guard republicans.

Shreveport will get an Apple store right after it gets a Tiffany's.

LOL - that's just what happened here in Charlotte. Can't say I've bothered to go into the Tiffs though (it's right down the hall from the Apple store).

Morpheus - yeah, Whole Foods, it's not cheap but the quality meat and such are great. Plus you can even "dine" there with the whole selction and range of prepared food options and food stations. There's not one here but my company is based in Redmond, WA and it's right next to a hotel I stay at from time to time. FYI: I got the REI co-op membership and get a few bucks back each year on on my purchases. Not sure if you bothered for one purchase (I joined in the mid 90s and not sure how much it was... but now a one time $15 fee)...

Yeah I'm an REI member. I used to live in Houston and we had a whole foods with a whole earth provisions hooked on to the side. I think it was on shepherd in the same vicinity as this huge tower records that had music crammed into every conceivable nook and cranny. I do miss the variety of shopping there. 1/2 price books was another favorite.
