Hobby Lobby opened a new store in Gainesville, FL yesterday. We turned out in droves to meet them. This is just a sampling of the awesome pics from the event. They won't be the last. We're going back Monday for the ribbon cutting so the dignitaries will have a chance to hear what's on our minds. And now, for your viewing pleasure....

3. Place is a pit

Ick

4. What the hell is that suppose to mean?!

[Iamthetruth]

7. It means

Gainesville is a dump.

[Cha]

8. Yeah, you keep saying shit like that.. but, you offer no proof. Just some anonymous poster

on the internet.

[Iamthetruth]

10. Grew up in Gainesville, know it well.

Full of rednecks and over privileged college kids.

11. My sister has lived and has had a business there for a long time.. and I visit her when I

can.. love it and so does she, her family, and friends. They've made a good living there and have been fortunate enough to build homes from themselves.

14. Grew up there, too. Perhaps things improved since you left?

[Iamthetruth]

16. It's still

A hick town and a college town.

18. Multi-cultural diversity. What's the problem?

20. Go east till you smell it

Go east till you smell it, then south till you step in it.....

But, that may just be a FSU/uf thing

[Cha]

21. All right then.. now we're getting somewhere..

my sister graduated from UofF.. go Gators.

[Fla_Democrat]

23. Go Gators....

Go Gators.. and take the 'Canes with ya.

I kid, I kid. I never bought into the whole.. "My two favorite teams are......." I like to see UF win games, it helps the state, and increases the potential talent pool of recruits looking to play down here. I just don't like to see UF win games against the garnet and gold.

Now that Steve is gone, we can all be friends.

5. But clearly there are people in Gville who give a damn & show it! That should be applauded!

12. Good going, people! We are getting a nearby HL in the fall, and I'll protest.

Although I probably won't have the nerve to wear a burka and open carry. Just wave a sign. How anyone can rule that a corporation can have religious beliefs is beyond me.

13. Great to be a Gator Progressive

[Eleanors38]

15. Got that right! Class of '70.

19. I am a FSU Alumni (Class of 91) and of course can't stand UF.

However, very proud of the town today!

[Eleanors38]

22. My brothet attended FSU in the early 60s. Pretty town.

17. this is freaking hilarious

I'll bet HL never in their wildest dreams envisioned what a PR nightmare this is turning out to be.

If you didn't see the pics at the link, you must! The guy with the "Supreme Pimp Court" and "think outside my box" were the funniest, IMHO.
