Aimee and I saw the movie Groundhog Day last week. Both of us think it is a pretty cute movie. So we took a nice Sunday afternoon drive with Aimee’s mom to Punxsutawney, PA for a late lunch. Well, not to the real town, but the fake movie one. The far northwest suburb of Woodstock, IL played the part because it was more like the small winter town of our imagination. Woodstock got the nod because it has a rather large central town square with two gazebos and lots of little shops on the periphery. After lunch in the family diner, where Bill Murray often ate, we strolled the stores checking out scenes from the movie. On the way out of town, I ended up circling the square a couple times till my GPS gave good directions. On the second circuit, Aimee, ever the comedian, felt like she was reliving Groundhog Day.
