Convenience Store Banana Report: Fail!

December 26, 2008

Spending the week in the great north country of New Hampshire and saw this sign adorning the entrance to a convenience store. No bananas of any kind inside, though. “We sold ‘em for 79 cents each, and you could buy a whole pound for that at the IGA down the street,” the clerk told me. It had been months since a Chiquita delivery.The competition from the Dunkin’ Donuts – same price at the same location – couldn’t have helped much.

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
