Santa Fe's too good for that...

Or so it seems. Here are a few of the stores/restaurants that I've come to find out are not in Santa Fe...some even over 200 miles away! Wowsas!

1. Chick-fil-a - 56.4 miles away in Albuquerque, NM! If anyone knows me, they know this is my absolute FAVORITE fast food restaurant. Jack mentioned we'd have to have date night in Abq and go to Chick-fil-a!

2. Panera Bread Company - 223 miles away in Colorado Springs, CO!

3. Home Goods - none found in NM, closest, again Colorado Springs, CO!

4. Blockbuster - none found in NM, again, and guess where the closest is? You guessed it, CO Springs, CO! This is crazy.

5. Kroger/Harris Teeter/Food Lion - none of those household names (for me at least) around here, we've got things like Albertson's and Smith's.

6. Old Navy - 60.67 miles away in Albuquerque, NM! 

7. Carrabbas Italian Grill -CO, Springs...I sense a trend. Sigh.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there will be others discovered. But that's part of the fun of being in a new place, getting to discover new favorite places and new local jaunts to frequent! Here's to discovering more about this interesting city we call home!

crazy! but do you have an in-and-out burger in or near your town? if so, that might just make up for not having all of those other things. :) we always liked shopping at ralph's when we lived in cali.. if you have one there you should try it out. it's the same as kroger, but i felt like they were always a bit nicer, but not as pricey as harris teeter type stores.
