For real?
60 people waiting in line to get donuts & coffee at 5:15pm on a Wednesday night?

Pretty comical, almost as sad as reading stories about low class individuals trampling others to death at walmart, so they can get a $200 TV for $150.

Wow - really!?!?

They probably had a good time and shared a good laugh when they got inside and ordered their donuts and coffee. Life is all about experiences - and some experiences are just plain frivolous. I'm sure I would have enjoyed standing in line with a bunch of folks who enjoy life's simple pleasures.

BTW - I got in line with my child to purchase the Black Friday edition of the newspaper at 11:00 PM the night before it was delivered the following morning - we had a blast.

Simple pleasures - lasting memories .

Yup! I know a lot of well-educated transplants who have been pining for Dunkin' Donuts (mostly the coffee) and have missed it ever since moving here. Who make a point to stop at Dunkin Donuts for a cup of jo any time they are on the road. Among these folks having a DD in Huntsville has been a long time coming. I don't share the passion for DD myself but - everyone has their *things* that they are into.

The weather is quite nice this evening - I hope all who went to celebrate their favorite doughnuts and coffee this evening had a really fun time.

For me, it was the Chuck Full of Nuts coffee & donuts that I missed. I don't think it was especially great but it just takes me back to a place & time of the past....
