Restaurants always are the most popular items here, so even though this one isn't definite...(shhh)...we'll leak some info.

Watch for a Golden Corral Grill & Buffet to be in a new 8,500-square-foot building next summer at 3458 N. Fruitland Lane. This will have access by taking Neider Avenue between the Dollar Store and Super Supplements west of Highway 95 to Fruitland and then north to where a storage unit business is being removed.

Golden Corral is popular as a buffet possibility for all three meals. It started 40 years ago and now has about 490 locations in 39 states, with headquarters in Raleigh, N.C. The closest to us is on Division in Spokane. Check the menu at www.goldencorral.com.

And now the Tidbits

- Remember the convenience store/gas station near Zips on Government Way that had premium gas and diesel for "an arm and a leg?" It's gone.

- Speaking of gas: It's under $3! But why is Post Falls higher the Cd'A? One of us geezers remembers when gas was 25 cents a gallon in Seattle in 1971.

- Cool: 111,111,111 X 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321.

- 2013 starts Tuesday. Years are the only exception to the rule that a numeral can't start a sentence.
