Re: WPTR yet again

["Douglas J. Broda" <djbroda@mindspring.com>]

Translation for those of you who haven't done time in the Capital District:

Stewart's is the omnipresent, it's-everywhere convenience store chain that
dominates this market with such vigor that Southland dares not tread here
and Cumberland Farms stores close about half the time they open one. (And
Stewart's does have great ice cream, made by the company itself, as well as
good Paul DeLima coffee hot all day.) Still locally owned (in Saratoga),
unlike long-time baking icon Friehofer's. Heavy ad presence on WGY for
years and years.
