From the "Words actually fail me now" files

Lansdowne, MD, is finally in the big leagues.


It is now host to the most recent all-night camp-out of the Cult of Chick-Fil-A, whose latest temples of worship open there and in Laurel tomorrow morning. As always, the first 100 "Chick-Fil-Aniacs" get enough coupons to feed them free Chick-Fil-A once a week for a year.

I was not among those camping out. But I did go by and take some photos. I only remembered this because my mother was shopping nearby (yes, the Wal-Mart) and she called my sister, who lives just up the street from the new CFA, and whom I was visiting. None of us had ever seen such a thing in our lives. I would say we never will again, but that would be a lie.

There was even a guy in a cow suit. I don't think I snapped that person.

But remember: when the news reports that a new CFA just opened in Halethorpe, remember: it ain't Halethrope. It's Lansdowne! We Lansdowne natives (past and present) are very touchy about that.
