with growing up in the southwest and having lived on the east coast there are things in the Midwest that we do not have here that I miss. the first is sweet tea, another is Rallies hamburger drive threw's, and mostly Chick-Fil-A. now like all things I did not miss them until I did not have them, there for taking them for granted.
three and a half years ago I found a friend and we became roommates. he is from the south and missed some of the same things that I did. so in sept. of '04 just before he got married we found out one fateful Wednesday that there was a Chick-Fil-A in Sioux City. so that saturday we made a road trip to the Chick-Fil-A. now Sioux City is about 90 miles away, but we did not care. we were going. none of our friend nor our co-workers could understand this almost magical draw to the chicken sandwich, but we did not care. we arrived in Sioux City around lunch and order a few sandwiches each and we did not speak until there were no more sandwiches. then felling that it was two early to return home we searched the mall for something to do. we decided to attend a movie. we saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. not bad not all good either. after the movie we decided to grab some sandwiches for the road. all in all it was a fun and fulfilling.
later in august of '05 my friend and his new wife went to Sioux City and brought back some chickeny goodness. I shared my bounty with my children who where now hooked on Chick-Fil-A.
the week before I stated this blog I took a trip to N.Carolina. another Chick-Fil-A story...
