Back in the day when I a teenager. I use to work at a Wegman's. That was back in Webster, New York. I think I worked there for 5 years or so. After there I went to work at a gas station, Mobil.
This was the founder.
This is my friend Don. He has told me about this place since I have been here. Asking have you been to Wegman's yet? So during Sunday afternoon, we needed some tings. Corn, Hot WHITES, rolls, potato salad and a couple of other items.
This just one side looking down.
The other side. As we were talking during this time, Don was saying, just think if you stayed working for them? I know I could look back and say WOW. But as time mores on so does our lives. After the 5 years of working at the store. I was going to high school and even vocational school. During 2 years there learning the ins and outs of engines and transmissions. Over all a mechanic. That is why I left. I thought why not work on cars and pretty much any thing that has a motor.
Looking back, now if I stayed working for Wegman's. maybe where I am now would have ever happen. Remember what i use to do at the Adventure Learning Centre? I was the mechanic. there and pretty much TRIED to fix what ever was broke. It was by God's grace, why I am where I am today.
This is the dinning hall area.
Now this room or area is in debate now. When they were building this store, there was going to be a liquor store plus. You know wine and beer. Well here in the Baltimore area are laws that say you can not sell those items in a grocery store. The only reason I am telling you this is, Don was talking to me about this and I just walked up and the door open up. Don, is like what, how did I do that? I just told him I walked up and it opened. He finished the story about this room, thinking not to many people have ever saw the inside?
I know some of the pictures are not to good, I was walking when I took them.
Just think this is only food. They don't carry any other items,that I saw. You know like a Walmart would? As we were walking around, I did notice the prices were some what on the higher side. But the store was so beautiful. Plus SO BIG.
This is the parking garage Up stairs.
This is the parking inside garage.
Okay this is Don and Meg. We were eating those White hot dogs plus corn plus. It was so good to taste them again. Rochester, New York is known for the White Hot Dog. They might be other places, but this was what we knew about them.
Folks I have been having so much fun spending time with them. As my time is winding down. I really an becoming sadder. Like I have told you before, we go back over 50 years as friends. I know we have had some trouble trying to get this to happen, but I am so happy we made it happen.
I will have a chance today to have lunch with a couple of his follow workers. We are going to Costco for lunch. Now this Costco here has Italian sausage sandwich plus onions and peppers on top. I sure am looking forward in eating something like that. Might take some pictures too?
