i was sad when i first learned that wasp auto closed their shop at guess road & I-85.
i was sad when my vet told me she'd left the cat hospital.
and now i'm sad to learn that the local branch of the honda specialists might be closing. apparently business there isn't so good (the other locations are doing fine, though). they've undergone 3 relocations and 4 name changes in the last 5 years or so, and that's what pam (the ultra-sweet front desk lady) attributes the lackluster business to.
over the past couple of years i've become rather vocal in recommending my favorite places to friends, just so things like this won't happen. but it's happening anyway.
other places i never want to see shut down, ever:
the garden salon
the pizza palace
los portales taqueria, holloway street
pop's
my favorite dollar store, "just dollars", in wake forest
vis-art video
regulator bookshop
peek-a-boo bar & grill, 9th street (home of the world's best onion rings)
carolina theatre
cosmic cantina
anotherthyme
durham symphony
mad hatter bake shop
and probably a zillion others...
