This goes out to Debra

This post goes out to Debra, someone I have never met that just so happened to find my blog amongst all blogs. She used to live around here and she mentioned remembering Young's Market. I do not know if she lived here since the whole side of Young's had a mural painted on it. Sooo just in case it was or was not, this post is for you. It is very pretty is it not. It goes up the whole length of the store!

Left hand side of the store

And continuing on to the right!

The white on the bottom is the snow still on the ground!

And to the right of this is where you would go down the Alley to the loading dock, used to be able to bring your cans and bottles there, but not no more!

Another old empty building!

Sad but so very true another beautiful old building sitting on our main drag (LOL!!! That always cracks me up when I say our main drag as it has half a dozen business's on it) that sits with the familiar bright orange For Rent sign in the window. This is right across the street from Young's market (our one and only in town store) and the other side of the street is Chuck's railroad room (our one and only bar) For me all this is sad. This town, even since I moved here 30 years ago always was booming a lot more than it can even think about doing now. One of these days I am going to have to realise that the town I love sooo much is dying a slow death. (That is my opinion)

On a great note however, it was an absolutely beautiful day, weather wise!!!

Young's Market Westwood Ca, 96137 Day 76

Today found me once more in my local market, Young's Super Market. And as usual another familiar and friendly face, Linda. Linda has been working at Young's awhile now for a few years anyway, and she is always a high spirited and smiling friendly face. An event I suppose (we in this lovely little town we live in) could and can be taken for granted. Like I wrote in this post about Barbara, it is something I always try to never let myself take for granted. I am glad I know the names of those that work in or run this town, and I am thankful that I was able to get Linda to "Smile" for my camera! Like Barbara , how could you not just love to have these smiles greet you in your local stores!

And like Barbara, she doesn't need any tricked out name tag, and for that I am thankful!
