Just a note for those who may not be familiar with my telling of the <a href="http://bloggingpoet.squarespace.com/bloggingpoetcom/category/fast-food-delights">Fast Food Wars</a>, or the chain of one that is Skipper's Hot Dogs located on East Market Street here in Greensboro, NC. This is the 75th random poem excerpted from the story and there's plenty more to come. As you pull into the drive thru at Skipper's (Formerly Skip's) you are greeted with the recorded sounds of a barking dog on the drive thru speakers before a human takes your order. But as tacky as it may seem and as poor as the building might appear when compared to national chains, Skipper's Hot Dogs are among the best you'll ever taste.</P>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://bloggingpoet.squarespace.com/bloggingpoetcom/rss-comments-entry-6553947.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Cathy Smith Bowers To Be Named Next NC Poet Laureate</title><category>Announcements</category><dc:creator>Billy</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:01:57 +0000</pubDate><link>http://bloggingpoet.squarespace.com/bloggingpoetcom/cathy-smith-bowers-to-be-named-next-nc-poet-laureate.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">16251:110371:6483686</guid><description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. NC Cultural Resources Secretary Linda A.
