<<arby's sign.jpg>>
When I was in elementary school my mom would pick me up and take me out to lunch on my birthday. Unlike today, this was back when going out to a fast food restaurant was a several-times-a-year event rather than weekly (or daily in some families).
I always chose the Arby’s on the corner of Hobson & Main. Sadly, it was demolished several months ago to make way for who knows what…maybe a Payday Loan store. (That is what we need in this town -- more financial institutions that charge 390% interest annually on unsuspecting poor people. More on that topic in a future post.)
So that is how Arby’s achieved a special place in my heart. My mom loved me and that is where she took me on my special day of recognition.

I heard the church bought the Arby's to make more parking for the temple. So lets hope that rumor is true...I can't picture a crime infested paycheck right there.
That is one thing I have noticed since coming here after the mission, all the Payday Loan type places on State Street. There must be at least one in every block. I noticed an article in the paper about limiting the number of them in any given area. They must really be lucrative. Maybe we should invest in one and get rich.
