Almost Like Retirement Heaven

[Bailey Guns]

Lewiston was just named as the #1 retirement location in Idaho. It's obvious why. Everything needed to sustain life is located in Lewiston in about a 1/3 mile stretch of a single road:

Everything I need to maintain the dogs, house, property, tractor, other machines and vehicles, plus other necessities like guns/ammo and underwear:
Home Depot
North40 (like a Murdoch's on steroids)
Sportsman's Warehouse

All the cheap but useful Chinese shit I'll ever need:
Harbor Freight

Food:
Panda Express
Kentucky Fried Chicken
Red Lobster (for those special occasions where upscale dining is warranted)

Hydration:
State Liquor Store

And when I need other food necessities like bacon and oranges (to combat scurvy) there are two groceries stores inside the same close radius.

If I can't find the basic building blocks of life at those places right next to Sportsman's is:
Staples - for computer stuff (to connect to my Amazon Prime account)

There are 2 or 3 assisted living/care facilities within Rascal Scooter range of all these places, too, though they're a block to the east of the main drag.

A person could actually be born, grow up, go to school, get a job and then retire having lived a completely fulfilled life and having never even heard of IKEA and never traveled more than a mile from home.

Amazing.

Been eyeing lewiston for a few years now along with a few other places more north, hopefully in the next 3-5 years I'll be making my way up there with the pops and wife in tow.

...and there's a Costco in Clarkston, WA.

How’s the weather compare to front range of Colorado?

Definition of a Lewiston virgin... a 9 yr old girl who can outrun her 11 yr old brother.

^^ Dude...you don't know how close to the truth that is. My family's a bunch a hillbillies from Alabama. Some of the people up here make them look downright sophisticated.

ETA: And, BTW...I didn't really mean for this to evolve into a serious discussion.

I don't know Carl. From the sounds of your first post it's starting to sound like you've turned into a big city boy with all that Lewiston has.

Q. Why do they sell so many button-fly jeans in Idaho?

A. Because the sheep can hear the zippers a mile away
