Downtown.
I rarely go there. The lighting of downtown, the library or an occasional geocaching expedition were pretty much my exposure to downtown. Living on the SW side of Canton amidst Wal-Mart, Giant Eagle & various strip plazas, I don't ever NEED to go but now I have a WANT to go. I have a desire to explore Canton & reveal what it has to offer so I diagonally parked & eagerly donated my quarters to the City of Canton.
Ray (my husband) & I were venturing to a small coffee shop downtown. Just a one shop stop to start off our venture. Unfortunately the cafe closed at "12ish" & we arrived at 2:15pm. I'm not quite sure of the technical clarification of "ish" but 2:15pm I can assure you, is not it. Perhaps a Saturday after noon was a bad idea, is downtown Canton better traversed on a weekday? I've mentioned in another post that I have only lived in Canton for a few years so I don't really know the ins & outs of downtown life.
Schooled but not discouraged we window shopped on our way back to the car.
Deciding to hit our old standby, Sheetz (#342 Tusc. st. west) was our next stop. The made to order counter is nice for undecided persons like myself. I could stand there for 10 minutes changing & rearranging my order. (frozen mocha latte carmel & hazelnut, with whipped cream & 2% milk, regular size) I do like to switch it up but that is my favorite thus far.
Sheetz isn't exactly a huge company nor is it a small business. In my opinon anyway, I don't know the technical terms. Sheetz has many stores in NC, VA, WV, MD, PA & OH. Is that considered "nationwide"? I really don't know, please feel free to comment if you do.
Anyway, back to the amazing coffee's they make. Oh yes, I said amazing and you can talk to the persons preparing the MTO items. I like that, I'm a chatty type. (probably picked up on the by now) I ask them the craziest questions too & the crazy thing is, most of the time they know they answer.
The fresh donuts, do they make them onsite?
A. They do not BUT they are made daily at the Sheetz baked goods headquarter & shipped out fresh every morning to their stores. (I picture a hollowed out French cruller somewhere in the highlands of Pennsylvania.)
Sheetz #342, your employees are always busy, I've never seen someone standing around. They talk to each other nicely & always smile. You have good workers at this store Sheetz. #342. (Raises all around! Fingers crossed for you guys.)
Oh right, Downtown. I've wanted to try out some little shops & restaurants there. I'll call first for the hours of operation & keep you posted.
