I was up in #VancouverWA today and finally checked out a Chuck's Fresh Market. Since New Seasons and Market of Choice have no interest in going East of SE 46th in #Portland, maybe we can convince Chuck's to open a location in East Portland. There's an old Fred Meyer that's available.

Watched "The Long Walk" this weekend. What a gut punch of a movie. It's so faithful to the book, too, until the ending. Which will wreck you.
