And, I thought I lived in a nice, quiet town....

Okay, the weather change from cold to warm to cold to warm is quite literally bring the stupid idiots out in force!

Two weeks ago on a Friday night, it was some stupid fool firing off a couple of rounds w/ his shotgun outside my building at 12:30 in the morning.

This past Saturday night....  a high speed car chase went flying by my apartment close to

:P Hm, I think the PA is going to add some already undefined charges. . .:D

I'm sorry that it took you so long. :)

Well, the whole mammogram thing was thrown in at the last minute, since the doctor was like, "You drive 45 miles

[parislove27]

Yeah, 45 miles is a long way to drive. Glad you're not going to have to do that anymore! :D

We have to go 36 miles to the orthodontist and the new dentist. At least we have a hospital in our town. But the really good doctors, like the one that sometimes I have to take my mom to are 95 miles away. It sucks.

[ladyniko]

Oh, I have a decent hospital in town - I just didn't know of any surgeons out here.

I literally can see St. John's from my front door - it's the highest point and tallest building in town, being like 1 mile exactly from my front door. ;)

[parislove27]

Wow. I live in a little bitty town!

Surgeons are hard to come by over here so we go to Dallas, which is yes, 95 miles away. :P

St. Louis is surprisingly overflowing with hospitals for its population size. You pretty much can't go 10 miles without being near a hospital until you get to the outlying areas

[parislove27]

In our town you have: Wal Mart, Brookshires, Applebees, Jalapeno Tree(best place in the world to eat food in my opinion-our restaurant is great), McAllister's, Hallmark, Blockbuster, Dominos, Mazzio's, Jack and the Box, Office Depot, the post office, a few car dealerships, a few large churches, the courthouse, the square, the library, Taco Bell, all of the schools, the bus barn, a few more banks, the park, the cemetery, Rounder's, the Cain Center, Curves, the Old Hospital, the creepy Fueller's Park, and the New Hospital.

Not much. We only have 13,000 people I think. . . let me go check. . .

Wally World is pretty much a given. I have like a new super duper wally, Target, Lowes, Kohl's & JC Penny took over the old Wally store. I'm waiting for Sam's Club or Costco to go in at the plaza on the east end of town. They've certainly leveled enough of the hillside for either of those.

I think our pop is still under 20k for Washington proper, but we are growing and to both our detriment and benefit, we are getting more of the "big box" stores.

[parislove27]

Ah, I have to drive 35 miles to Tyler to go to Target (awesome), 20 to go to Lowes (sometimes it's a waste of gas), but we DO have a JC Penny, Bealls, and Cato in our town (thank everything for that!) We have a Wal-Mart "superstore" lol.

We're about to get more stores since our pop is growing (I think)
