Shopping and Eating Here in Springfield

APRIL 21ST

A day to just hang out around town.

I went over to the Wal-Mart across from the motel and bought the CCR CD Cosmo's Factory and was really happy to find two DVDs I had been looking for in the $5 bin: "Grumpy Old Men" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" two of the all-time funniest movies.  As an added bonus, the "Grumpy Old Men" DVD also included "Grumpier Old Men."  Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau, now there was one funny duo.

Then, we drove west to Veterans Parkway and the Best Buy and Barnes and Nobles.  The Best Buy has one of the best collections of CDs remaining in any of those stores, even though it continues to dwindle.  I even found several CDs by North Carolina's Avett Brothers that I've been looking for.

I still miss my Borders Bookstore in McHenry, so am always happy to find a Barnes and Noble store, even if they no longer carry CDs.

Then, we went to Golden Corral and enjoyed that magnificent spread of offerings.

Last stop was the Curve Inn for another sad Cubs effort (and loss).  One bad thing about the new juke boxes is that some of the songs that are played are rather ridiculous, including one we heard with more "F." "M-F." and "N" words than anyone should ever have to listen to, which is never.
