I giggled. Favorite architectural detail that ever came up in school; I think it was about 7th or 8th grade. Oh, giggles.

Cars are no longer tested rolling downhill with the engine off.

My '13 Fusion has these, too. Always make me paranoid that a curb/pothole would hit/break them and then I'd OCD out over a nonsymmetrical car.

Ah, makes sense. I've been to Food Lion and Harris Teeter when I went on an Outer Banks trip, but always kind of regretted no Krogers have ever been nearby. I work in retail advertising and have an unnatural interest in food retailers, so never getting to go to the #1 grocery specific retailer has always irked me.

Struck a chord bringing up Trenton.

What area of the country are you in? I feel like you rarely hear about one area that has THAT much variety in grocery stores. Also, let me tell you how FUCKING AWESOME Wegman's is. Sorely missed, since I moved from NJ.

Strange how with how much Bottom Dollar has been growing in the Philadelphia area (Aldi, too, I suppose), they wouldn't make an effort in Chester. Instead you see Bottom Dollar in the center of areas like Cherry Hill, NJ... what?

Can you tell me more about pushing to get Trader Joe's to open up? Northwest Arkansas doesn't have any, and I've heard some people mention how they wanted to try and bring one here.

If we're talking produce, it definitely varies from area to area, store to store. If we're just talking organic packaged goods, yes, I agree, WF is a complete ripoff.

I thought Texan exiles always fanboyed over HEB about it being so great?

Has Whole Foods officially taken fresh & easy over? I've never been around fresh & easy (only lived in Shop Rite, Wegman's, WM Neighborhood Market, Harps, etc areas) but I've always wished one would pop up nearby.

Aldi is a top 10 Food Retailer in the world. Just... not in America. They're one of the few that are still staying healthy as far as their business is going.

Go anywhere in Trenton and it's shit. Just saying. Olden's Shop Rite is the poorest excuse for a Shop Rite in the entire state. Bah, Trenton.

This, completely. After a concussion or brain injury like that, you can't process enough of what is going on to make the judgment call to take yourself out.

So, so many.

Dear god, doing this would be a terrible idea.

I'm 23, and what is this?

I chuckled.

Well, or don't. It's a rather horrifying picture and it's enough to know that he held an artery with his bare hand.

This was a great read. Thank you for all of your contributions, folks.
