While Wasik’s Cheese Shop put the kibosh on lines this holiday season, you can still get your fix of standing outside at other retailers around town. An early morning trip down Linden Street found people lined up in front of Roche Bros. (and CVS, and into the parking lot…) waiting to get into the grocery store, which was also doing a brisk curbside business for prepared foods.

Down the road, a line snaked out from Captain Marden’s, as people waited in the sunshine for their fishy favorites.
It’s amazing how this wonderful country has turned into the Soviet Union. I visited there when I was 15 and never imagined that I’d see people waiting in line outside of stores in the US.
You understand that the lines in the Soviet Union and the lines outside our stores today are for totally different reasons, and therefore your comment is irrelevant and maybe more than a little paranoid, right?
