When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone ...
One of the fun parts of having to travel for business is the opportunity to see new places - often, places I'd otherwise never see. Today, while sitting in a rather dull meeting, I was perusing an online map of San Antonio, when I noticed a familiar name as a suburb. Could it be? Yes, it is that China Grove - the one about which the Doobie Brothers sang back in 1973.
On my way back to the hotel, I took the long way and swung through China Grove. Gotta tell you - a little disappointing. Frankly, although I knew where I was, I never saw a sign identifying the town. Even the one shown to the left was stolen from the "town"s website. But it just goes to show you - from small things, baby, big things sometime come ... :-)
