Granted I'll see you this weekend, but damn dude I would have loved to show you around Binghamton. It's quite an interesting place. It absolutely depicts the rust-belt of America. If you get this, you should stop by the Mosquito Lounge and Grill at the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Main Street in Binghamton. I tended bar for quite a while there and they will welcome you with open arms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991822441564311416.post-21349533610330801062007-08-14T13:21:00.000-04:002007-08-14T13:21:00.000-04:00I'd highly recommend the book "The Wal-Mart Effect...I'd highly recommend the book "The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--and How It's Transforming the American Economy" by Charles Fishman. It's a pretty unbiased view of what Wal-Mart has done to the world economy--both good and bad. It gave me a better understanding of Wal-Mart, and helped me realize that they actually aren't like most corporations in that hey aren't greedy for the sake of getting bigger and bigger profits--they really are greedy to lower the price as low as humanly possible. Read it, it's fascinating.Ezrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249055675517672157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991822441564311416.post-29576643444208642412007-08-14T12:01:00.000-04:002007-08-14T12:01:00.000-04:00WOW!

No reason to stay in a Walmart parking lot if you could enjoy at least a futon mat! If I knew I would of invited you earlier, well if you are nearby again and looking for a Walmart parking lot my door is always open, and we have a Walmart 5 minutes away. <BR/><BR/>On another note we helped Paulie move out of his place Sunday, he is a Corning, NY resident no more.<BR/><BR/>Hope your travels are going well, and looks like you will make it to PA this weekend! :)LukisWebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796315655978747349noreply@blogger.com
