Here’s what’s definitely going in to Phase 1 of the nearly 400,000 square foot shopping and entertainment complex that is currently being built north of Campbell Drive at Florida’s Turnpike in Homestead:
Most of these businesses plan to have their grand openings during the month of October 2008 (weather-permitting). A few of these businesses (such as Ross) will delay their eventual opening until the early portion of 2009.
SHENANIGANS FACTOID – It’s exactly 2.3 miles from my parking space at home to my parking space at the Cracker Barrel in Florida City (where all of the gas stations arefood is).
This morning I walked in to the joint a few minutes after opening time at 6 AM. My longtime waittress of the past 355 years greeted me at my carthe entrance to the restaurant portion, and she was thrilledtotally ecstatic to see me. The feeling was mutual. She knows what I like to eat !
Based on Tammy’s suggestion alone I enjoyed the Wild Maine Blueberry Pancake Breakfast (with scrambled eggs with melted American cheese inside and also succulent smoked sausage). Are you paying attention Paul ? This was truly one MASSIVE meal, and I’ll be recovering from it (in a good way) for the rest of the morning.
You know I never realized that wild blueberries grew rampant all throughout the great state of Maine. According to this educational web site courtesy of the University Of Maine the state has ‘60,000 acres of wild blueberries (that) grow naturally in fields and barrens that stretch from Downeast to the state’s southwest corner’. When I typed in ‘blueberries’ and ‘Maine’ within a Yahoo ! search engine box I got back the first 10 of some 932,000 results ! I also learned that Maine is the largest producer of wild blueberries in the entire world ! Maine sounds like a very delicious state to me ! 😀
And so these are my ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ for this week. Thank you for allowing me to share them with you. Until we meet again please enjoy this interesting short film all about wild blueberries:
