Some Announcements

If you are in Rittman on Saturday September 9, come over to the South Main Street Church of God, home church of WGB, for their monthly fund raiser, country breakfast. You get eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, biscuits, gravy, fried apples, coffee, juice. All you can eat for a donation of $6.00 for adults, $4.00 for children 12 and under. You can also get it to go for a donation of $4.00. The address of the church is 261 S. Main St. in Rittman. Breakfast will be served from 6:30am to 11:00am. Come hungry, go happy.

Forum reminders: For those looking for a civil alternative to some of the nonsense that has a tendency to go on in the Cleveland.com television board, let me remind you that Radioinsight.com has an Ohio television board that is well moderated, and there has been some good discussion going on between a few posters. If youve not been there give it a look-see. There is also a classic television board on the site.

The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K.

I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...
