Oo! Talley's! Talley's is a single health food store which I was here when opened, and I've gone there since I moved; the main problem is that when I come back I'm not sure whether the bus will go to the Transportation Center or somewhere else. In this cooling weather I could probably stand the wait. A letter from me would probably carry a fair bit of weight. Neither the Home Economist (a local chain with three stores, where I usually shop on Sundays) nor Compare Foods (one of the stores where I shop on other days) is on the list. A letter to Winn-Dixie, Wal-Mart, Food Lion, or Harris-Teeter would be a drop in the bucket. I have written to the Home Economist, but last I checked they haven't changed their weighs. phma
