New Shopping Center

They say that we are in an economic depression and will be for several more months if not years. So it is with some degree of pleasure when I see a deal come through. There was a corner close to us that has been a vacant lot since we first saw it. And it wasn't a good looking vacant lot either. A Michaels adjoining the lot moved a mile away leaving more blight. Month after month, year after year, we watched the weeds grow.

Then, suddenly, movement onto the lots. Everything was cleared and a sign went up. TShen two buildings. The first proclaimed that Rite Aid was coming.

While the second looked like it could hold 7 small businesses. Panda Express was the first business in the newer building. Of course we thought it only proper to visit the Panda as a show of appreciation and support:

I suspect we'll be coming back here relatively soon. The food was good and reasonable and the service couldn't have been better.

    Do they sell Thrifty ice cream inside that Rite Aid? I think the mint and chip is better than 31 flavors. I also am a big fan of Panda Express. The dish with the green beans is very yummy!

    MMMmm, Panda Express is our new family favorite fast-food. You can get all sorts of veggies! (And plenty of fried meaty stuff, too)

    When Rite-Aid took over Thrift drug stores they kept the ice cream business in most of their stores. I think they even kept the Thrifty brand name for the ice cream.
