IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE . . . HALLOWEEN

Just opened up locally here is the Halloween season store known as SPIRIT. There are several of these so-called "superstores" that are seen both regionally and nationally. This particular one occupies an otherwise empty store space at the graveyard called  Totem Lake Mall. For years this shopping center has struggled. Recent annexation may help it to be re-energized but I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, I'll have a few weeks to wander around the monster masks, costumes and other Halloween goodies until it closes up until next year.
