I bought a birthday present for my friend and enjoyed lunch from the Yogurt Corner.
I had pizza and dessert at the Food Court today.
Check out this Cash Mob story from Chagrin Falls.

This is why during the month I shop at the little grocery store across the street from my house. I may not drop as much cash there that I do at Giant Eagle and Save-A-Lot but do purchase staples such as bread, milk, cheese, and lunch meat.
You'd be amazed at just how many different items this little store handles. It's more than a convience store, with the bare essentials associated with convience stores, but a true family grocery store that has been there for as long as I can remember, and that goes back to 1950. It's no longer owned by the family that established it, but it's present owner has kept up the tradition.
The owner or his son are there 7 days a week and occasionally his wife is there, and it's amazing how they get to know their customers.
