Went shopping on Friday at Linens 'n Things in Manchester Township and got some incredible deals. The store is in the process of going out of business, which I'm sad about because I really liked shopping at the store.
On my small trip out of the office Wednesday to grab a quick salad at Quizno's in West Manchester Township, I was smacked in the face with heavy traffic. The roads were packed with last-minute shoppers. Who knew? Aren't we in a recession?
You'll have to check out the scene in downtown York too. One of our newest reporters, Kevin Horan, wrote a story for our Christmas paper about how the smaller shops were doing on Christmas Eve. Most were doing okay.
Merry Christmas!
I wasn't too excited last night when I was leaving work for home -- first stopping at Shangrila on White Street for some chinese food takeout -- when I knew I had a snow-covered car to brush off. Little did I know, a little
"holiday elf" had already been in the parking lot.
I got my email news alert earlier today on the big news. We are in and a recession and it's official.
OK, so who is really surprised by this news?
Not me.
I've been doing my part in buying when I can. In fact, we just spent loads of money Sunday at Borders in Springettsbury Township, feeding our hunger for reading. And there were lines a plenty there. Recessions aren't just one-day events. According to those who know, we've been in a recession since Dec. 2007.
