Hi Nancy,

 RH> one is small compared to the one near the Shipps.

 NB> I'd guess that the Brockport Wegmans and the Williamsport Wegmans

 NB> (any Wegmans), and weren't heading to Brockport area already...  ;)

Pretty fair guess there, and if we're in the W'port area, it means we're
most likely heading to or from western NY. If so, we will be going to or
have been to the Brockport store.

 NB> Shipps got one of the fancy-dancy new bigger Wegmans... in fact there
 NB> are some items that, according to the Wegmans Menu magazine, are only
 NB> available at Pittsford (the flagship store on Monroe Ave in Rochester)
 NB> and Columbia MD... nowhere else...

I've been in the Columbia one a couple of times--you can get lost in
that store! It would be interesting to get a listing of what is
available only there or in Pittsford.


 NB> I hadn't realized how much I'd just been taking Wegmans for granted,
 NB> until our son went away to college, and I was shopping at the stores
 NB> available there... and realized that they weren't bad stores, but that
 NB> they just didn't measure up to what I was by then used to at Wegmans.

We've seen some things spread thru out the country, others that stay
very regional. When we lived in NC before Steve went into the Army, we
couldn't get kasha down here. We'd have family from NY bring it down,
now we can find it here (and most all of the other places we've lived
in). British blend tea (from Tetly) was only available in certain stores
(only Harris Teeter when we first moved to Wake Forest), now it is in
almost evey store in the area. OTOH, the Freshtown store that replaced
the A&P in M'ville has quite a different selection of most things than
the A&P used to. The former has a larger selection of ethnic products,
the latter was more basic. It's interesting to see the diversity in the
stores.

... Mind... Mind... Let's see, I had one of those around here someplace.
