HEB South keeps check-out
lines moving,
great service at Border Sporting Goods
Dine in or take-out, La Mexicana never
fails to please with great service. Take-out orders
are ready when they say so and they are yummy like everything
else on the menu. Our favorite is the tostadas de pollo
con aguacate.
Rapidprint is your handy all-service downtown site for
all your printing needs. Excellent service from folks
who understand you are days behind on finishing what
you promised finished days ago.
For lunch or breakfast, Teocali on McPherson is always
timely with your order, even when there's a crowd.
The reference desk at the Laredo Public Library sure
came through for the patron who required the lyrics
to Beethoven's Ninth (Ode to Joy). The Library found
the sheet music for him through inter-library loan.
When the patron wanted Schiller's original text, the
Library found it online.
The effort to keep check-out lines moving at HEB South
is quite evident. It was slow moving when the store
first opened, but that is not the case now. If only
they stocked fresh herbs and organic Romaine. HEB Guadalupe
would do well to understand what the managers at the
south store are doing to keep customer service positive.
If you haven't picked up a strawberry Trollebus, a homemade
non-dairy iced confection, at Yukon Icy Treats (Zapata
Hwy. At Blaine), then you don't know what natural goodness
is.
Recent visits to Zapata have placed the MC at two great
restaurants -- Ramiro and Cruz Torres' Holiday Restaurant
and Godkins', both on Hwy. 83. If hunting or fishing
put you in Z, enjoy these eateries.
Roque Hines at Border Sporting Goods found the MC just
the commemorative Henry the MC sought -- the Henry Golden
Boy .22 with its octagonal barrel, lever action, American
walnut stock, brass buttplate and Brasslite receiver,
and buckhorn type rear site. It's a .22 that looks like
a .30-.30 and handles slickly and effortlessly for offhand
shooting.
Whole Earth Provision Co. at the Quarry in San Antonio
came through like champs on the replacement of a defective
GPS tool purchased from them.
P.J. McCue in the Grande Ford service department makes
the MC hall of fame for excellent service.
Real people answer the phones at City Hall. Count your
blessings that it is not otherwise.
