Since 1973, Ken and I have driven through Hagerstown, or we have driver around Hagerstown, or we have stopped to eat a meal in Hagerstown, but we have never spent time there. We have gotten lost in Hagerstown and discovered new areas, never to be seen again. Once we came upon a whole neighborhood of gorgeous Victorian homes, all restored and looking fancy but we have never seen them since. I don't think it was a mirage.
Today we actually spent money there. The truck needed new tires so we went to Mr. Tire for four new tires. We made an appointment yesterday. They were ready and pleasant and efficient. While Ken was waiting for the truck, I had a pedicure. The young man must have been good because he talked me into a super bonus pedicure that cost ten dollars extra. We ate lunch at the best Chinese Buffet we have ever seen. Great food. Both of us had medications to pick up at Walgreen's. Again, the pharmacy folks were pleasant, efficient and enthusiastic.
Our last chore was to visit AAA for maps. While there, we looked at new, light, four wheel cases, which we might just buy for our New Zealand trip.
Hagerstown has improved since 1973. The down town has been restored and the shopping malls on the outskirts seem bigger every time we visit. Hurrah for Hagerstown. Today, it serviced all our needs.
