Interesting sleuthing technique!  I think they both opened in 1993 at their present location, but I'm still willing to bet McDonalds was already open there before Walmart's grand opening.

Good point about the WalMart opening year.  But after reading your post I seem to remember McDonalds being open at that location before the opening of WalMart.

This is when people actually would stop and hang out with one another instead of just looking at a screen all the time. I used to love the cruise and the vehicles. The sound systems were amazing in some of those cars. I miss the way it used to be!!

The library?!?! That must have been the shortened "straight-line" route when cruising was starting to flatline.
Back in the early- to mid-80's, it was out of McDonald's with a right at Park, down to Shankel's and left up through town. Of course, that was when there were actually a few things, other than old-age homes, still in the downtown area.

Sometimes mice, squirrels or something will bite off a plant. I don't know why they do it because they never eat them.  I used to put a square of aluminum foil around the base of a plant to keep cutworms from biting them off. Haven't had the problem in years though. That might work. 

Don't be sorry for doing something that we love to do. Sharing garden advice and tips is a favorite past time for gardeners.
Also, you can contact the Penn State Master Gardeners any time and one of us will be very happy to send you all the researched info you can handle.  That's our job!  We love getting questions.

Got mine all in and everything is up and growing although my plants took a beating with the heavy wind and rain and I do have some washout areas. Not sure how things look after last nights deluge. I Have been enjoying green onions for a while and will harvest some lettuce in a few days! Looks like a couple dry days first of the week so good luck getting your planting done!

SO pretty! So far, so good with all of my flower beds. We dug up a large boxful of black eyed Susans for dil on Friday, they're spreading so much and got out of control.
I don't have my veggie garden completed yet, if it would just stop raining for a few days

Black eyed Susans and coneflowers are great if you have a large area to fill. They are a major pain in a small bed. Tell me about the rain! I have lettuce ready but it is growing far from the garden gate  and requires slogging through a sea of mud to reach. Got all of the spring crops planted but waiting for some dry weather to put in the tomatoes and the summer stuff. Hope everything doesn't rot like it did last year.

Now that they have the sweet potato vines that don't form tubers they are easier to grow in smaller pots. I kind of liked having the tubers to save for the next season but they did take up a lot of room. This is one of the Brady St. lot pots with a red one. I think I got it from Ted Lyons.
 

I fell in love with the sweet potato vines too, I make a hanging basket of them every year for the middle of our gazebo. I just freaking so love spring time and planting and watching everything grow! And I wanted to say a big thank you to you for all of the help you've given me over the years, so very much appreciated!

Thank you so much Lavender. I'll go out tomorrow. And I will threaten hubby dire straits if he dares to get rid of them again without saving the seeds.
Edited: I forgot, I've had all colors in the past including white. I've been told that you don't know what color you'll get, I love them all!

Hey steelnut,  these pictures are from Hanzely's greenhouse. Here are your black eyed Susan vines. Note the white ones. I've had mixed colors but don't remember ever having seen a white one. 

The BUDS Gardeners will have them this year, and also the Hidden Meadow Greenhouse off of the Oklahoma Salem Road which is already open.  I think I saw them at Shaffer's Greenhouse in Pansy and also at Hanzeleys last year.

Sweet little baby girl!

Beautiful baby girl! Love the pix, keep them coming!

IMO, if 'some' don't like it, they don't need to click on the thread. I'll never understand people who complain about a topic when clicking/reading/looking/replying is completely optional.  
That said, what's not to like here? 

Seriously???

Today Faith Marie is 3 months old. She is 8# & wearing 0-3 mo clothing.

Such a sweet little baby girl!
