Tonight was the “Friends and Family” night at the new Target store. In addition to the pianist and flutist performing, they also had free chow from DiDonna’s.

I actually didn’t walk around the store, come to think of it. I perused the much larger electronics department, of course, picking up a couple of DVDs along the way. Then it was over to the motorcycle toys while my wife occupied herself in the baby section. That’s about it.

The coolest thing I saw was actually on the way out – they’ve got a Pizza Hut! There’s a Starbuck’s in there too, if you like paying that much for coffee. But personal pan pizzas? That’s something to smile about!

Target hired over a hundred new employees with their move into this store…that’s a good thing. In the past Democrats would say that those aren’t the kind of jobs we should feel good about creating, but that’s just silly. 100 more people are bringing home a paycheck now…many of them are likely kids working their first job, others perhaps a little further up the retail ladder. It’s good to know that jobs are available in this town for people who want them!
