Furniture without personality - fine for renting an apartment, but not for owning a condo . . . in my humble opinion. Oh, and the Swedish Meatballs. A $1.99 meal can't be the best for you :-)<BR/><BR/>That's not high on my stores I hate list: Walmart wants to build a multi-level store 1.5 miles from where I grew up (Cedar Hills Blvd and Sunset Hwy). Ugh - the traffic congestion. It's not worth it for cheap shit - Ikea or WalmartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
