Hipmatt,
have you ever tried to get into the Smokehouse (Ponte Winery) on a weekend for lunch? There is almost always an hour wait. Maybe it’s because it’s wine country and there are lots of tourists…but lately the wineries have been hopping.
I go to the grocery stores at different times of the day (mostly Stater Bros) and it’s always packed. I went to Albertson’s last week – just because I was also at Home Depot – and the prices were significantly higher than SB. Couldnt believe it. I will never shop there again.
Maybe ther restaurant was slow last night because everyone was at home watching the season finale of Showtime’s “The Tudors”…no, wait, that was probably just me!
I have noticed that gas is cheaper in Temecula. I was in Escondido this morning, where it was $4.29 gal. When I got back to Temecula, it was $4.19.

June 2, 2008 at 2:14 PM #215496broseParticipantYou would be surprised…I work for a local city, and while we revised our taxable sales downward six months ago, things are holding steady. Almost everyone thought we’d have to lower expectations a second time, which would’ve been real bad news. But for the most part, whether they’re putting it on credit or not, people are spending. Those sectors taking a hit: furniture stores and auto dealerships. Those doing well: big box retailers (mostly) and grocery stores.
And that Costco in Temecula, just go there at 5:30 after work and see how many are lining up for gas.June 2, 2008 at 2:14 PM #215578broseParticipantYou would be surprised…I work for a local city, and while we revised our taxable sales downward six months ago, things are holding steady.
