Things we like about Scranton...uh...Stanton

Here is a list of things we have come to enjoy so far:

1. There are many good motels near our apartment. We have seen these so far: Mot, el, M..tel, Mote, and a normal Motel.


2. As Roger was driving to work one day, he made an amazing discovery. He passed a cemetery with normal headstones, but this cemetery suddenly turned into a VEGETABLE GARDEN. There were suddenly rows of vegetables being grown right in the cemetery. We decided they must be growing HEADS of lettuce and cabbage, KIDNEY beans, FINGER potatoes, and EARS of corn. Ha.



3. On our first day here, Roger was taking me to his office and we passed two awesome roads. Bolsa Chica and Old Bolsa Chica. I almost died laughing.





4. Living in a "big" city has its perks. There are lots of bright signs and lights. The perk is that sometimes, not all of those lights and signs work properly. We have started playing a game reading those now humorous signs. They might read: ite Aid (for every manner of -ite), dy's (instead of Wendy's), no's (instead of Domino's), ners (Dry Cleaners), der's (Linder's) and Sun D nuts (Sun Donuts). It has quite easily become our favorite game. (This sign reads The New J....Canc Center. Gotta love the Canc Center.)

A lot of cities have started doing city owned gardens that they rent out parcels of the various people. The city usually pays for the water and fertilizing and upkeep of the soil. However, a lot of places are limited in land, so they've started using cemeteries that have extra land, since it is already owned by the city. In case you were wondering...

I sound like the nerd that I am.

I can beat that.

As you likely know, the University Mall has a Sports Authority. One night, their sign read:
