not sure if this is anywhere but California but I love Pick Up Stix. It's basically good, fast, Chinese food.

What I am getting from this thread, it that the burbs are awesome!

From my house, I am 20m from:

Wegmans
Hobby Lobby
Wawa
Roy Rogers
Jason's Deli
Dave and Busters
Jersey Mikes
Sonic
Cracker Barrel (ok, that one is 30m)

Guess living in BFE isn't that bad

Re: Pinkberry, I used to love Pinkberry until we got Sweet Frog. So much cheaper (by weight), more flavors (including Pinkberry's flavors) and WAY more toppings. I have a Pinkberry gift card sitting in my wallet that I haven't used in months since Sweet Frog opened.
