I’m sitting here in the midst of the scent of perfume and cologne samples.  Foley’s is opening a new store in the local mall on Wednesday morning and they sent me a flier in the mail.  The flier included those little scent cards for Tommy Girl Jeans, Tommy Jeans, Spark for Men and Spark for Women.  The Spark isn’t bad.  It reminds me of something I’ve smelled before (but I can’t quite place it).  Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it out of my nose. 

This new store opening also brings up an interesting observation.  Despite the reported shape of the economy, there are a lot of new stores opening here in Denton.  In addition to the Foley’s, Barnes & Noble is opening a store in the mall.  There’s also a new shopping center opening across from the Wal Mart which includes Best Buy, Pier 1, Famous Footwear, and Kroeger’s (and probably a few more I’m forgetting).  At least part of the economy is still growing around here.
