A few weeks back we were running some errands out near the mall, when all of a sudden Angela began screaming. Very out of character. But she’s pointing and screaming and seems as happy as I’ve ever seen her. The cause of the ruckus? A sign indicating that soon, on that very spot, a Chipotle was set to open. Once
