BEELS!

I was going to wait and post this after a life update, but I heard it again recently and it just has to be addressed. Shortly after moving to Chipley (or the armpit of Florida as some call it) I learned that shopping would become alot like digging for gold...its fun and you like the results, but there aren't many places to do it.

Anyway, at my glorious disposal for clothes shopping I have Wal Mart, Peebles and Bealls Outlet. In the past year you can add CATO fashions to that list, thank you very much. In all seriousness, Bealls Outlet has come through for me in some tight spots. Ive purchased a Nine West bag, a pair of Ann Taylor dress pants and a last minute engagement party dress. You do what you have to do.

So in my shopping trips and around I have heard several people refer to the store Beels or BEE-ALS (like the small buzzing thing plus the name name AL). Which I guess at first glance of the store name: Bealls, it could happen...but I think the logo gives it away.



What do you think? Well, I asked just to make sure and the cashier confirmed that it is pronounced like Bells. :)

I've always heard it as "Bells" and just thought they were stupid and didn't know how to spell, kinda like how The Grand Theatre switches the e and the r ... but I think it might have to do with the education in Chipley or the shelteredness ... is that a word? ... of the armpit.
