Sweetbay is a grocery store chain here in the St. Petersburg area. I'll admit that I had been skeptical about them. They were never very busy and the stores lacked that more intimate feeling of other grocery stores.

After some experimenting I have found that generally their prices are consistently lower than the other local chain stores and it never takes long for me to get in and get out.

I do miss the well stocked corner stores of San Francisco, as the three mile bike ride to get chocolate chips was a little longer than I wanted. There are two small stores with-in about 5 minutes.. but they are more focused on the general sundries, cigarettes, beer, and Ben&Jerry's

that's about all I got for my midnight rant tonight.

Well maybe there is one other thing. I'm going to be migrating the blog to http://kestrachern.net

stay tuned!
