Alltown Fresh

Slightly edited from message sent to Alltown via Web Page Contact and my posting at Facebook.

Alltown

I go to a local chain I love called Alltown    Fresh. Best quality convenience store I have ever seen, fresh, chef cooked in front of you healthy, organic and quality food. Great coffee with best machines I have ever seen that grind beans for each cup. Top Tier gas at decent pricing. Good Rewards Program. and a decent car wash. What’s not to love? In fact I go out of my way with a 20 minute 5.7 mile trip (each way) to the closest location near me.

It appears from what I have read that Exxon Mobil has contributed to Project 2025. Alltown, or parent Global Partners. is a refinery and their gas is Exxon Mobil. I just sent this:

Hi folks,

I LOVE Alltown Fresh. I think it is brilliant and well executed idea and business model and I support you in every way I can as often as I can. I have come this close to buying stock.

I learned today that Exxon Mobil contributed to Project 2025. I would like to know your involvement with same. I’m afraid if you did as well or as part of Exxon Mobil I will have to curtail my involvement with Alltown and Global Partners.

You, of course, are free to do as you see fit. BUT, to give you a taste of my dedication, I buy NOTHING associated with Nestle or Pepsi products or Chik-Fil-A or Hobby Lobby. When politics invades a product I love, I reluctantly leave them behind. You will be the hardest to abandon.

Appreciate your reply.

I truly hope they are not supporting Project 2025. Will update this post when I receive their reply.

Update: Took about 3 days and several attempted methods to contact Alltown before they replied with “…thank you for your message. We appreciate you as a customer and are happy to hear that you love our store and all it’s offerings. We will pass your message along to the correct person. Thank you.

That was 3 days ago and no further contact. No reply is itself a reply.

I shall wait another 3-4 business days and reach out one more time.

Update July 18, 2024: Sent the following and closing the issue:

I have not had the courtesy of a reply to my message here and also sent through Messenger in FaceBook. Not even a “this is not something we discuss with the public”. Ghosting. Message copied below.

Consequently I must assume you do support Project 2025 as no reply is a reply.

Tomorrow morning I shall close my account here. Unsubscribe. Remove your app and reluctantly never do business with Alltown again. Sad. I shall also post on social media my experience with this subject so my friends may be aware of what I suspect to be your position as well as the lack of your reply other than a Messenger “thanks for the kind words – we will forward to the appropriate person”.

Annual Selfie 2020

Hard to believe 8 years or so since I started the blog here. Never really knew what I was going to do with it. Did not want to have everybody/anybody have to join to comment and yet did not know how to easily prevent spammers. And I was learning a new skill with WordPress and finding a place to send potential clients and showcase my photography.

So, it stalled.

Once upon a time I was prolific at the WeLL, even doing my best writing ever on a 1989 cross country trip following the Dead and meeting friends previously only know through pixels. I had a voice. In recent years I lost that, but I think it might be morphing and returning in a new guise. So, time to at least dust here in the corners and see what if any purpose the blog section of in4m8n.com might serve.

A good bit of progress

Logan April 2012

Not yet ready to go live, but getting close. I have a theme picked out and then will upload a number of photo galleries, social links and perhaps affiliates. So this is now a test of BlogDesk for posting creations offline.

Have I shown this pic of grandson Logan after the back nine at the Senior PGA Championship this year?

Not too shabby for a quick iPhone grabbed shot.
