One good sign and two bad in Morrisville

The good (economic) sign is that restaurants are still busy. We waited in line at The Cheesecake Factory, and on a Monday night. For readers who live in places like New York city and Toronto, know that Raleigh/Durham eateries, at dinner, pretty much only fill up on the weekend.

Even The Cracker Barrel was busy for breakfast this morning (Sunday) BEFORE church.

Now the the bad signs. My hubby's favorite gas station hangout has decided not to open on Sundays anymore. Except for a few lottery ticket buyers and some gas sales, they just aren't getting enough business.

And here's a dew-line barometer of the economy if I ever heard one: our retired neighbor, who regularly dumpster dives around at the Morrisville big-item trash drop off said there's been nothing good coming in. Just Christmas wrapping and boxes, he said. No furniture, household goods, etc.
