That was my Mom's favorite drink I've had sips every now and then. Not sure if my mouth waters any bit upon the words though Maybe Stewart's orange cream drink might do it.

Wegman's is branching out all over though. You can find them in Maryland and Virginia if you want to escape some of the colder weather up in Rochester.

I've had some fond memories living and visiting Rochester: Lilac Festival, House of Guitars, Abbott's Custard, on Lake Ave., Many 3 Dog Night concerts, Laser light shows at the Strasenburgh Planetarium, oh yeah, the Blizzard of 1966, some of my sunburns visiting Florida because I didn't know enough to get out of the sun's power rays in time .

Huh. Food trucks are big business here in Durham, especially in the Mexican community. I think that they have Truck-O-Ramas downtown once in a while but I don't know how coming-event news gets distributed here. I always hear about everything after it happened.

God bless Paola, he deserves better treatment than Rochester gives him.

It's cool that he is doing multiple food trucks(I've seen 2-3 parked in the restaurant parking lot) but the restaurant was only 1.5 miles from my house so it was nice having it close by.
