The Great Thing About Small Towns

This weekend I spent some quality time with the wife at her mother's home in Grand Forks. We decided to get takeout from a favorite nearby restaurant called the Italian Moon to feed the family. We ordered a small bucket of chicken, two submarine sandwiches, french fries, a taco and an order of nachos. The total bill, $24.09. When we told the guy we would wait for the order, he asked us if we would like complimentary beers while we waited. That's the kind of service you just don't get in the Twin Cities.
