When you live in a metropolitan area, or even just a larger community, there are often things you take for granted that the rest of us who live in the sticks aren't as fortunate to have.
For example, 24-hour convenience stores, a Red Lobster, a Costco (never even been in one) or a youthful, growing church that contains more than pews filled with Q-tips, as my daughter refers to gray-haired old people.
So I was in mourning Thursday when I opened the Lake Country Echo and discovered that Sunset Cinema, the movie theater build a few years ago only FIVE minutes from our house has closed. So instead of a quick trip to go see a movie, now we have to travel 30 minutes again to go see the latest flick. So sad.
Our city recently got a Giovanni's Pizza, where Erika and I stopped in Friday night to pick up some food. They actually deliver. You should have seen the three of us (Nels included), giddy with anticipation a few weeks ago when we waited for our pizza to be delivered to OUR OWN HOME for the first time. Before the pizza arrived, I actually cleaned the living room to make sure our delivery person didn't think we were slobs.
I hope someone resurrects the movie theater, which is a nice beautiful facility. We'll make sure to be first in line to buy popcorn on opening night.
