Creepy ...
Quoted: As I hurtled down the highway, a pair of golden arches crept over the horizon, and the proverbial lightbulb smacked me in the forehead. To gauge the creep of cookie-cutter commercialism, there’s no better barometer than McDonald’s – ubiquitous fast food chain and inaugural megacorporate colonizer of small towns nationwide....So, I set out to determine the farthest point from a Micky Dee’s – in the lower 48 states, at least. This endeavor required information, and the nice folks at AggData were kind enough to provide it to me: a complete list of all 13,000-or-so U.S. restaurants, in CSV format, geolocated for maximum convenience. From there, a bit of software engineering gymnastics, and…...Behold, a visualization of the contiguous United States, colored by distance to the nearest domestic McDonald’s!

Wow ... Redmond Town Center with no Abercrombie? ;)
I'm really sad that Brat Pack is leaving though. Now where do you get a good kid's haircut on the Eastside?
Quoted: A retail shake-up is under way at Redmond Town Center. Seven retailers including Limited Too, Nine West and Abercrombie & Fitch plan to be out by mid-February, and more departures are likely.
The stores opened along with the shopping center in late 1997 and have 10-year leases that are expiring, said Christina Henning, senior marketing manager.
Macerich, the center's Santa Monica, Calif.-based owner, is taking the opportunity to "re-merchandise" based on what it believes today's shoppers want, Henning said.
Others leaving are trendy clothing retailer Express; children's apparel store Brat Pack; Goldworks jewelry shop; and stamp maker Rubber Soul.

Useful product but the name is going to prevent it from ever getting past a niche market of women who are now moms but want to show that they didn't lose their edginess.
Quoted: Momspit (inspired by the original) is the universal no-rinse cleanser. It’s not a sanitizer and does not contain any alcohol. In fact, it’s gentle enough to use on your face. Momspit foams for easy application, eliminates dirt and grime, and leaves skin moisturized and yummy smelling. It’s the perfect thing to throw in your purse, place on your desk, or keep in your car. To use: Apply a small amount on hands or face and rub in completely. No rinse needed.

This is an AWESOME product, especially as our little guy is getting older and we think about traveling. I would love to see them make some international guides and I think I might just pick up the Seattle guide to have a little more fun in our own neighborhood!
