Rocha-chatter

Seven years ago I got up at 4 am on a cold December morning to stand in line at the opening day of Krispy Kreme. I collected my free t-shirt, ate a bunch of doughnuts, then went home and back to bed before going to work. That was how much I loved Krispy Kreme.

Last week, the Henrietta Krispy Kreme, the last remaining Krispy Kreme in Rochester, closed it's doors. I am crushed.

Where will I goafter a late night movie to satisfy a sugar craving? How will I explain to my mom I won't be bringing home a dozen when I come to visit?

Really if this was going to happen, I would have expected it during the big Atkin's diet rage. What went wrong that they couldn't stay open in Rochester? How come Buffalo got to keep a Krispy Kreme? How many times will I find myself driving to Buffalo to satisfy a Krispy Kreme craving?

My husband says it's because Rochestarians are picky about their doughnuts. They like cakey doughnuts. Just like they are particular about their ice cream... prefering frozen custard. Apparently that's why we only have one Ben & Jerry's in the area.

I don't know... it just seems like there is enough doughnut love to go around.
