It used to be, even recently, that NKC's existence was something I never gave any thought to. In my mind it was just that run-down industrial area north of the river. But in the past few days I've come to realize how much time I actually spend there. My bowling league is there. I go to their big park to play tennis. I go to their fantastic community center 3 times a week to work out. Whenever I want fast food I usually go to NKC. I need gas, NKC. The 24 hour Osco there has bailed me out several times since I discovered it. And recntly I have actually paid attention when passing through and noticed that they have a lot of really interesting family-owned retail shops.
This city that I never gave any thought to turns out to be one I visit and patronize nearly every day of the week, and outside of home I probably spend as much time there (if not more) as any other neighborhood.
If they had a grocery store and a department store, I'd probably almost never have a reason to venture more than 3 miles from home.
That's all, you can move along to another thread now.
