Here I Am

I am writing to you the first time from the coffee shop I go to most of the time in the mornings. Thursday always seems to be a busy day and today is no different. I am not sure why it is so busy but it is. In fact I got one of the last seats.

Next Wednesday though there is going to be changes here in Gig Harbor Washington in regards to shopping. One grocery store is closing while another is moving to a new location. Both stores are owned by the same company so many of the employees are moving to the new store which is about the size of the two stores together. Many of the items in the store closing will move to the new store. The interesting thing about the store that is closing it has only been open for two years. It was an experiment by the owners to see what might happen. So now instead of having three stores in the same area there will be two. Most likely I will shop at both stores but it will depend on traffic as well. The store that is closing has had sales on its products so now there isn’t much left anymore so no reason to go there. The store that is moving won ’t be moving any of its inventory to the new store so some of the items are getting low so the other existing store I will have to go with for sure on some items.

A little further north in what is called North Gig Harbor there is so much developing happening with family housing and senior housing they are looking at adding another grocery store there as well. Currently they have the standard grocery store plus Costco. What they really need is build an elementary school. All the elementary schools in the Gig Harbor area are full and overflowing. Anyway that is the main news going on in town; if you have the time come visit our town when you come to Seattle.
