Opening A Local Deli Is A Lot Harder Than It Looks It was nine o’clock in the morning when I finally started to head to my interview. As I got into my Honda Civic, I drove on Interstate 78 on a crisp fall day. Speeding by cars and tractor trailers, I finally reached the highway exit and drove to the small town of Emmaus, where small businesses dominate the local economic competition. After circling the town square, I finally found a parking space and headed towards my destination; Pedone’s…
the place. There was barely anyone at the hike, but that did not stop us from hiking to grasp the beautiful view at the top. Next, after we completed the extended hike, we all felt accomplished and ecstatic. We went back down to my friend’s grey Honda Civic car parked the rocky, dusty parking lot. Unfortunately, one of her tires was flat, and of course there was no one around. We did not have any service, and we had to wait hours until a towing truck came.

Japanese-branded sedans and compact cars tend to be more reliable and are generally the least expensive to fix, Exsterstein says. "If it's a (Honda) Civic or (Toyota) Corolla with 100,000 miles or so, I'd say keep it. But if it's a Dodge Neon, I'd say get rid of it because it's going to cost a lot more to fix when it breaks down," he says. You might lock yourself out of a mortgage If you're planning…
Rathdrum, Idaho Where you are from does not define who you are, but it does shape you into the person you are today. So if you were to ask me where I was from I would gladly tell you I am from Rathdrum, Idaho. A small town where only a few truly know what is like to live here and only a few know how amazing this small city truly is.
