Aldi's in Winter Garden!

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:18:00 -0500

I realize this will seem odd to some…but I’m very excited to learn that there is going to be an Aldi’s in Winter Garden, Florida. We drove by the intersection of West Colonial (SR-50) and Park Street today and saw the “Coming Soon” sign in the window of the old Publix store.

For those that don’t know, Aldi is a deeply discounted grocery store. I believe most everything they carry is their own ‘store brand’ merchandise — but it’s good quality food that is much less expensive than other stores, including Wal-Mart. YEAH!!

johncabrera:

Okay, so hypothetically speaking… let’s say you were, oh I don’t know, hanging out in Ana Lucia’s Tiger Pit… and you suddenly remember you need to get to the Hydra for a breakfast meeting with Ben. Here’s the route I’d take:

I’d, of course, hop on the Purple Line A Train, westbound to the Tailies crash site, switch to the M Train southbound to The Staff. Then I’d switch to the Blue Line P Train northbound loop to the Drug Plane, where I’d switch to the Green Line south… any of those trains will get you there… except maybe the R… I think it only runs on weekends.

Reusable Starbucks Cup

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 14:02:00 -0500

This is a very cool REUSABLE mug that was being sold at our Starbucks/Target. Jenifer found me a neat “generic” mug that looks like a throw-away coffee cup. She gave it to me for Christmas. Mine is microwavable (a definite advantage). These from Starbucks are cool…I like the design a lot, but they are not microwavable. I like the idea.

Boxee Box, very interesting...

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 21:00:00 -0500

As I have told many family and friends…I despise my cable company and the whole idea I have to pay for a service that is ALSO ad supported. Does it not seem that the content providers and the cable industry are double dipping into our pockets?

Needless to say, I am very optimistic about this new product by Boxee/D-link. The Boxee Box is interesting…allowing the streaming of TV shows and other content to this computer, then to be displayed on the home television. If the reports are correct, and this hardware is truly going to be retailing for under $200, then I may have to make the investment.

Did you know that the Publix tea (in the deli) are decaffeinated? I didn’t. I called to make a suggestion that they carry decaffeinated teas, and I got a response saying that they already are! I’m surprised that they don’t put that on the label.

Ghosts of Shopping Past

Ghosts of Shopping Past:

An art exhibit in Chicago features photos of a mall I remember going to when I was growing up in northeast Ohio. Rolling Acres Mall was on the outskirts of Akron.
