Agricuturial?

• Yep, there is was … at Hinkle’s for dinner last night. While looking at the place mat advertisements, we happened on the word “agricuturial.” H-m-m-m, we thought? Is this a new word? Looked it up on the phone. Googled “agricuturial” – several hits came up. This one, for instance: “AGRICUTURIAL LAND FOR SALE – Rs1,500,00” from the “meaditiers of real estae business” in some country far away. We figure the word in the local, Holtwood, contractor notice is “Agricultural”. Maybe Smucker’s Holtwood Construction is due some kind of refund from the place mat advertising firm?

• Great concept: Eat dessert first! Loved the sign in the window of the French pastry shop that’s just one of the interesting collection of small, boutique shops along the north side of the second block of East King Street in Lancaster. The block is being beautifully revitalized.
