Lunchtime Adventures

The other day, I went with Daniel to the bank during lunch. I didn't have any business at the bank, but my afternoons always feel shorter when I make it out of my office for a while at lunch.

After conducting his business at the bank, Daniel and I headed down Walnut Street towards downtown Cary. As we approached the end of Walnut, where it intersects Kildaire Farm Road, we passed by the Walnut Street Church of Christ, or more aptly, we passed by where the Walnut Street Church of Christ meets.

Why the clarification? Well, obviously, their entire church community wasn't standing on the side of the road, but more interestingly, it was written right on their sign. Check out the link. Their sign actually says "Church of Christ" on one line and directly below it it says, "MEETS HERE".

I thought that was incredible. I wanted to take a picture, but I didn't have my camera with me. Lucky for me though, they put a picture of it on their web site. Now, I can show you all. I also like the statement of who they are on the right side of the home page.

For lunch, Daniel and I decided to stop by the Ashworth Drug Store1. Ashworth is an old school drug store with a soda shoppe style counter in the back. You can get grill food, like hamburgers, hot dogs, and grilled cheese sandwiches, as well as root beer floats, malts, milkshakes, and such.

It turns out that Daniel and I picked the right day to stop by. On Wednesdays and Saturdays you can get two hot dogs for $2.25. It's probably not as cheap as it was back in the day, but lunch for less than three bucks is hard to beat.

After lunch, we went back to work, which isn't nearly as exciting, but one can only have so much excitement in a single day.

That is cool. I'd just like to clarify as a Cary native that the real star of Ashworth's is the orangeade. For those who haven't had it, it's like lemonade but with oranges and they juice the oranges right in front of you after you order it. Mmm...yummy.

I agree with Jonboy. You've never truly experienced Ashworth's until you have had the orangeaide. That and a couple chili dogs. Little slice of heaven.

Its good for us to remember that we are the church and that we are sent out instead of a building. We used to have conversations about that concept all the time, so thanks for reminding us about it!
