Several, several months back my friend, Phil, stopped in town and we had a couple hours to drive around. Literally, that's all we did. I'm a terrible hostess. Anyway, he noticed right away one of the oddities of New York living that I had begun to take for granted. . . the omnipresence of Dunkin' Donuts. At the time, I just confirmed that "Yup, there's a LOT of them around". Since then I've checked out the company's website to discover that within a 10 mile radius of my zip code, there are 49 Dunkin' Donuts. FORTY NINE.
This all seems doubly amusing to me because the last place I lived had ONE. I'd drive by it about once a year (it was in an odd spot) and every time I'd remark, "Hey look it still exists!" Personally, I'd thought they had all gone the way of TG&Y! (Does anyone out there remember TG&Y?)
FYI: If there are any Krispy Kreme fans out there. . . the month I moved here the one and only Krispy Kreme in the area went out of business. I think I heard that it had been open just shy of a year. So now the closest one is 110 miles away in Connecticut!
