Don't get me wrong, Boone does have some amazing and unique restaurants, but there are some mainstream places that we are missing out on. I constantly find myself saying, "gosh I wish Boone had *blank*," so it is time to make a definitive list. There is always room for improvement, and this is the first start.
1. Target
I love Target. You love Target. So let's get a Target.
2. Dunkin' Donuts
Don't get me wrong, I love Krispy Kreme, but sometimes I need some D&D iced coffee with my cake donut.
3. An Authentic NY Bagel Shop
Again, Boone Bagelry has my heart, but sometimes I just want a good dozen of some NY style bagels.
4. Victoria's Secret
Like really. Where am I supposed to buy my lady underwear? Walmart? No thank you.
5. Ulta
Cheap drug store makeup will do in a pinch, but let's be real, we need a little more variety.
6. American Eagle
Their jeans are the only ones I wear, and you know I cannot buy them online without trying them on first. So let's fix that.
7. A Noodle House
We have Chinese, Japanese and Thai, yet not your average noodle place.
8. Laser Tag
Sometimes I like to geek out while running around shooting my friends with lasers. Make it happen.
9. Pastry Shop
Where are my macaroons at?
10. Kay Jewelers
I'm not getting engaged any time soon, but when the moment arises, I'd like to be able to say, "Every kiss begins with Kay."
11. Shoe Store
TJ Maxx has some, but after them, where do we buy shoes?
12. Furniture Store
Can I only buy myself a used couch from App State Classifieds?
13. Best Buy
Our bookstore is great, but I need some more technological variety in my life.
We have a lot, but clearly we have a lot to add. If nothing else, just please get us a Target. I miss it so much.
