Re: Friday, September 2, 1004
Back in the days of doing business there, I had this idea of opening up a little coffee shop in Dunn, and calling it "Bradstreet's in Dunn." Then it quickly dawned on me that there were two reasons not to do this. 1. I know nothing about operating a coffee shop. 2. None of the Dunnizens (Dunnoids?) would get the word play. One other long-term effect of having done (!) business there, and having the dual city of license designation, is that whenever someone says, as in to end a sentence or to make a point, "Done!" I feel the need to pause for one beat, and then say, "-Fayetteville" very top-of-the-hour declaratively. I-40 was just a dream back in those days. I remember taking a back road from Dunn to Burgaw to get to my Wilmington client, way back when. We avoided the route that went near the paper mill, to spare our noses and clothing from any prolonged exposure. --dfl
