One of the things I love about Loudoun County is that you can't go shopping at Wegmans without seeing at least one person you know.
This last time, it was two members of teh Spouse's campaign for delegate, who now work for Jeff Barnett; and a recently retired member of the CSB.
Everytime we go, we see colleagues and neighbors and folks we know from our son's school or daycare. Most of the people we see, we'd know even if we weren't quite so involved in community affairs, but it's one of those things that makes me feel that this is a community worth being involved in.
Because you just can't go to Wegmans without seeing people you know.
Not counting my friends, I would have to say that Wegman's is the thing I miss most about living in Loudoun County. There are stores here in Madison, Wisconsin, that come close to matching it in some areas (Metcalfe's for selection, Hy-Vee for prepared foods) but nothing that brings the whole package.
