When my company        SD> was using the Holiday Inn downtown, there's a large Wegmans within        SD> walking distance. My curiosity was piqued due to the discussions in        SD> here you've had about the store so I went over there and was not        SD> disappointed. To me, the prepared meals were a bit spendy--hey, the        SD> company was picking up my per diem tab!--but quite delicious. I had        SD> many a meal in my hotel room watching TV in bed after an exhausting        SD> 12-hour day (I had to work 12 hour days when I was working "remote";        SD> normally had to do a month or two's worth of work in three to four        SD> days).               And according to Michael, that particular Wegmans isn't even as good as       most of them... I've only been in it once, when I was enroute from       somewhere, and had my pregnant niece with me... she needed a potty/snack       stop, and it was convenient...              However, we regularly get Wegmans meals of one sort or another... we       generally eat there when we are in the store for our weekly shopping...       lots of choices, from pizza to sandwiches to their "EZ meals" to their       Asian or pasta bowls to sushi offerings... also there's soup and the hot       or cold self-serve bars... We always eat there, but one could as easily       take it out and eat elsewhere...               SD> The company then switched to another hotel located on "the strip" in         SD> Faxon with all of the fast food and sit-down restaurants as well as a         SD> lot of the major shopping. So I quit driving to Wegmans unless I was         SD> over on that side of town which I was occasionally.              Less convenient and you had other options out there.... :)               SD> I didn't mind Williamsport but it felt landlocked to me since I'm used        SD> to being on one of the "coasts".              You might feel less land-locked in Rochester, even though it isn't on       one of the coasts per se, it's on one of the Great Lakes, so it has more       of that sort of feel... ;)               SD> One of these days I'd love to go up to the Corning Museum of Glass and        SD> spend a few days there checking things out.              That's a pretty neat place... I've been there a few times, and enjoyed       it each time.... lots to see there... :)              ttyl neb              ... I'm not loafing, I'm doing research on inertia.              ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 2 16/101 18/200 19/36 34/999 90/1 102/401       SEEN-BY: 103/705 104/57 106/201 116/18 120/302 331 123/140 128/2 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 215 401 410 520 700       SEEN-BY: 218/802 810 221/0 227/114 229/200 354 426 1014 230/150 152       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 1466 266/512       SEEN-BY: 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 5555 282/1031 1056 291/1 111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 342/13 200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1321 712/848 770/1 801/161 189       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 2452/250 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 123/140 261/38 218/700 103/705 280/464 229/426           |
