Going Shopping
There are 63,328 grocery stores operating in the U.S. today, creating a 758 billion dollar industry. A grocery store, or supermarket, is a food service retail store that primarily sells a general range of food products, among other things. Some grocery stores specialize in foods from a particular nationality. What we think of today as grocery stores began in 1916 in Memphis, Tennessee. It was called Piggly Wiggly. The average person spends 53 hours a year in one. That’s roughly 41 minutes a trip. Going to the grocery store is an activity we all have to do whether we like it or not. Here are some tips to make your next trip a smooth one.

Beautiful Tumbling Water
Austria The Krimml Waterfalls are located in Hohe Tauern National Park. The park is one of the largest nature reserves in Europe straddling Tyrol, Carinthia, and Salzburgerlands. It includes the highest peak in Austra, the Grossglockner. You can access the waterfall by taking the Wasserfallweg or Waterfall Trail that begins at the ticket office. The trail takes you through mixed forest with many viewpoints of the falls along the way. The Krimmler Ache plunges down for 1246 feet over three waterfall stages all surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. After you’ve viewed that falls you might like to hike through the valley to the Krimmler Tauernhaus, a 600-year-old tavern.

Hometown New York City Brooklyn
For people living in small to mid-size hometowns it is easy to write about their towns. However, for someone like me who was born and raised in New York City it is rather difficult. Therefore I will look upon the borough of Brooklyn as my small town away from the teeming streets of Manhattan and the other boroughs. If you know about Brooklyn and find a neighborhood missing it is just that I wrote about all the ones I knew and where I have been. I was born in a very quiet corner of Brooklyn called Bay Ridge so I began my tour there. This article is about the neighborhoods Brooklyn Chinatown, Bushwick, Crown Heights, and Ditmas Park As I continue I will paste the links for the neighborhoods I have written about below.
