Trader Joe's within walking distance!

They've started construction on the new San Carlos Trader Joe's. There is now an impressive pile of rubble where the Lyon's Restaurant used to be.

Thanks. For years, I had an image of some ersatz "Polynesian" bar.

Well, the cashiers wear hawaiian shirts, but other than that it's not particularly ersatz-polynesian-bar-style.

My current TJ's is about 20 mins away. We bought a freezer so we could stock up, and we frighten the checkers monthly by going in there and buying 2-3 carts worth of stuff at a time.

Isn't it great? I practically bounced in my seat when I saw that.

I'm so envious. Our nearest TJ's is 8 hours away in Chicago. *whimper*
