Candy Store



We usually go to the post office in Swissvale, because parking is easier there than at the ones closer to our house, and on the way out of the parking lot we'd pass this candy store. If I'd dragged the little PDPs to the post office with me and made them stand in a long line, I'd feel guilty on the drive home that I wasn't the sort of mom who'd reward them with a fun trip to a cute mom-and-pop candy store. Then a couple of months ago I read this and felt much better about it.

The part I especially liked was:

The store is owned by an elderly woman, but [the police chief] said she did not have anything to do with the drug front.

“It was probably the grandma of one of the guys [running the store,]” he said. “People who actually run the places are shady.”

I think he's a little too quick in letting the grandma off the hook.
