Since I'm only 21, hopefully I'll keep my metabolism forever. (fingers crossed!)

you better keep them crossed, LOL. when i was 21, i was 5'7" and 105lbs. couldn't gain weight if I surgically added fat to my body i'm not overweight now, but 105 is a pipe dream (actually, as it should be).

who knows, maybe you will stay that way, but odds are it'll be harder to maintain and you won't be able to eat everything.

You can get Chik-Fil-A in NJ now too. Right before I moved three years ago, a Chik-Fil-A opened for business in the Moorestown Mall. There was also a Red Robin hamburger chain.

It's funny, it almost seems like southern NJ gets a lot of these places before northern NJ does. Super Wal-Mart is another example: one was installed in Turnersville, but you won't see one in Northern NJ.

Isn't there a Super Wal-Mart in Secaucus?

I guess I've been gone from my home state for a while now. Secaucus got a Wal-Mart Supercenter?

if memory serves me, there was a chick fil a in burlington in the late 80's (burlington ctr mall?). if not there, somewhere nearby because I remember eating there.

you're right in your second paragraph - northern nj is very late to get "chain" stores/restaurants (i hadn't been in a walmart until my 30's). i think we've had this discussion before, i actually find this a positive.

there is no SEE-caw-cus Supercenter.

I seems bigger than the others. I've only been to 3 Wal-Marts before very few times (Saddle Brook, Secaucus, and one in Puerto Rico). Aside from the one in Puerto Rico (which was enormous), the one in Secaucus seems ALOT bigger than the one in Saddle Brook. So I thought it was a super center.

24 hour retailer that sells food. As in a butcher, produce, full service grocery store. With a lot of scum of the earth as clientele.

Amen. Vermont is one of the leaders of having the discipline to disallow the sullying of their landscape in this manner.

Oh ok. I've never seen a 24 hour Wal-Mart in NJ before, LOL. You guys are right, I personally didn't see a Wal-Mart in NJ until about nine years ago. I don't like Wal-Mart to much either. I think Target is a lot better. They sell better items and they keep there stores spotless at all times (even during the Holidays).
