Final draft coming

The final draft of "Nine Nine Eight" is on the way. I think all the corrections have been made, through four edits.

There are many photos, ads, and logos, so it is looking really good.

The book release will be at the Broadway Market, tentative date is May 5, 2007.

Book progress

The book "Nine Nine Eight: the Glory days of Buffalo Shopping" has gone through two edits and is rounding the corner towards home. Many pictures, quotes, and ads have been added. The tentative release is early May, with a projected release event at the Broadway Market.

Best Food

Which store had the best food, and why? I only remember a couple, but the subs at K-Mart always made me hungry.

Worst store

What store really ticked you off? Was it the salespeople, the lack of selection, the way that the day the sale paper came out they were ALREADY out of stock?

Did you have a horrible experience that still bothers you to this day?
