Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week saw cold temperatures most of the week, but it’s warmed up a little over the weekend. Here’s a look at the temperature highs and lows over the past week from my Earth Networks weather station in Hot Springs.

Finally, here’s an old archive weather report from my trip to Commerce/Banks Crossing when I was in Georgia.
A Day in Commerce
Yesterday I spent a day in Commerce, GA, to do some shopping and to checkout this place not too far from me (see the maps below to check it out). Technically I was more in Banks Crossing than downtown Commerce, which I accidentally went to downtown Commerce before I backtracked and went back to Banks Crossing since I was looking for the Tanger Outlets and a place to eat.
Upon my arrival, we decided to eat at Chick Fil A since I was just really craving one of their Chick Fil A sandwiches (since this is really our closest Chick Fil A). It was absolutely delicious, and I’ll have to say one of the best Chick Fil A’s I’ve ever eaten at. It was just overly good! After filling up on a nice meal, we headed over to the Tanger Outlets.
Now in addition to being confused due to the fact that most people consider the Tanger Outlets in Commerce when they’re really in Banks Crossing, we were also confused about where to go to the Tanger Outlets, since the old one that we did end up going to right before we headed home was there, and there’s a new one that’s down the road a way. Most of the stores are moving over into the new Tanger Outlets, which after asking directions for at Chick Fil A, we finally found. It was a really wonderful shopping experience! Tanger Outlets has a wealth of stores to choose from, and we did a little shopping there, picking up some items we needed, before heading home. We didn’t buy much, but we just enjoyed walking up and down the shops to see all what they had to offer, which was quite a bit (even though it was FREEZING cold).
Some other advantages of the area are the dining places. In addition to Chick Fil A, they have: Longhorn’s, Outback, Wendy’s, a few others, and surprisingly, a La Hacienda! I thought those were only in Arkansas! The drive to Commerce was also pleasant, with it’s scenic and rustic beauty.
We’ll definitely be returning to Commerce when we need to do some specialized shopping, and I may even return in the spring and film a live WeatherBug Video report there simply because it’d be really fun to do. We had an enjoyable time, and it’s a nice little treasure area not too far from us!
That wraps it up here! Nathan Parker signing off.
