intended, but I would love it if a Trader Joe's moved here. Or even a really decent supermarket. Even if you are going to cook out, you need to have access to good ingredients. I enjoy "complex" (and simple) cooking as much as anyone, but cobbling together the ingredients from the stores available here, gets to be a bit of a bore. Of course, when you primarily live in Atlanta, you can bring provisions with you.

I don't think anyone is expecting the Ritz Carlton in Eclectic. But, if you have ever tried to get a last minute reservation at Spring House on the weekend (you can't), you would know that there must be an audience for a few upscale restaurants.

Now, I know some of you will say that if you can't wear shorts and flip flops you are not interested -- and that's fine for you. There are plenty of places to accomodate you.

But, those of us who live here full time would enjoy a few more "trappings" of civilization. Instead, I make the trek to Montgomery at least once a week, and B'ham at least once a month for signs of civilization. I can't even find a good quality dog food that isn't loaded with "meat by-products" here. Luckily, my dogs love going to Montgomery to Petco.
