What's the deal with Krispy Kreme donuts? Remember we had a Krispy Kreme donut place around the corner from Bishop O'Reilly? To the best of my recollection, they were just regular donuts like what you'd find at a Mr. Donut or Duncan Donuts. They even served them every day in our cafeteria. Well, something must have happened to the company since after 65 years, it's suddenly an overnight success. They opened up a store in Denver, nearly 50 miles from here and now people are making early morning 100 mile round-trip donut runs, bypassing dozens of Winchell's and Duncan Donut stores along the way to get to the most desirable donuts of all, the ones from Krispy Kreme! They are selling them for door-to-door fund raising drives. People are lining up for them. The last time I checked, the store in Kingston had been converted into a chiropractic clinic. This may come as a surprise to those of you still living in the Valley, but Krispy Kreme has a new cachet and has suddenly been 'discovered' by the rest of the world! :-)
