The other day I was really craving sushi. But where does one find sushi in a small town in the mountains of western NC?? Not anywhere that you would trust. However! My husband found out a local eatery (one that is trusted) has sushi Wednesdays. The restaurant is kind of, as they say, "crunchy" and was closing/for sale at one point but has since reopened.
So guess what we had for dinner tonight. As we were leaving we stopped by a table where some friends were eating and were promptly told not to forget to get our bookstore stamp. Huh? Apparently with every visit (meal?--still not sure) one gets $5 off used books at the bookstore connected (physically) to the restaurant. Yes please. Of course we head over there (uh, who could pass up a visit to a bookstore?!) and I find a used copy of Watership Down (I've been craving that too) and my husband gets a new book titled something written by somebody. What can top it all off?? A FREE tea or coffee at the restaurant by buying a new book. It just keeps getting better and better. You can also receive credit at the bookstore by trading in books you no longer want--but let's take this one step at a time.
And I know it's all a ploy to get you to visit more and spend more, but I'll take my little hole in the wall restaurant and my little hole in the wall bookstore to your Barnes & Noble & Starbucks any day. "Your" as in "The Man"...not you personally.
It's days like these that I love my little town.
