They are putting the finishing touches on the new McDonalds here in town. From what I read about the new ones it is more like Starbucks. Im not sure how well that will do in this town lol.
I love coffee but I drink coffee for bad stomachs called Folgers Simply Smooth.

Hi geyser!
I was born and raised in farm country in central Illinois in a tiny town about halfway between Blooming/Normal and Peoria. Left for Chicago after high school, then New Orleans, then Seattle. Lived in Alaska for 13 glorious years- then returned here to Illinois full-time again just last Spring to be near aging parents and family. I love being near family again- but not sure if I'm back here forever or not. I learned to love mountains and water while up north. I could return to AK in a heartbeat when the time is right- or I also feel this strange pull to explore North Carolina too- since there'a bounty of mountains and water there... Where are you?

Kevin,
I've never had the pleasure of going to Alaska, but the North Carolina mountains are sooooo breathtaking! And what the locals call "creeks" are Beautiful running "rivers" to me and I love to just sit and "listen" to the water run by. I go to Maggie Valley 6+ times a year and have told my son when he goes off to college in eight years I'm headed for them ther hills! (My great grandmother was part Cherokee so I've traveled to mountains here my whole life.) Come visit us, you won't regret it;)

Kevin,
Julie is soooo right North Carolina is breath takingly beautiful! This part of the country between here and there is all so pretty, also Kentucky and then the parts of Tennessee where the Oostaluna and Nantahayla (spelling???)Rivers are is simply georgeous. What ya need is a nice long road trip south and stay in B&B's the whole way and get to know the locals and just see what you've been missing tucked away up in the upper USA. You will like what you see I am sure:)
