Well – it seems as though our little “Super Hero” has found himself a comfortable home here in Suwanee and he’s made some new friends along the way! Not bad for a guy who just a few short years ago had to have his parents hang a pork chop around his neck just to have the dog play with him.
Seems that those other “Super Heroes and Heroines” at the SBA sort of adopted him as their “SpokesHero” as there was no other role they could find for him, and they thought that someone who enjoyed silky tights just might attract attention around town. (Truth be known that part has sort of attracted some of the wrong kind of attention and now Chief Jones has had to ask Stanley to leave the tights at home when wandering around town).
So now Stanley (aka “Suwanee Man”) found himself thrust into the limelight at all sorts of SBA member businesses around town. He’s been seen noshing at Brown Bag Deli, Ippolitos, Marcos, Gulf Coast Grill and then topping things off at Planet Smoothie! Feeling somewhat guilty (and a lot fat), he recently made an appearance at Georgia Fitness – where – after a strenuous 11 minute workout, he went to the online SBA Member Directory and spent some quality time at Richardson Chiropractic and Suwanee Family Chiropractic trying to get all of his “super” parts back in working order.
With most of his parts renewed, our “hero” turned his attention to sprucing up his exterior and headed to Hairllucinations for a sporty new “do” and then on to Salon Greco for the full spa treatment! The folks at the spa didn’t actually give him a treatment – it was more like an estimate, as Stanley appears to be more of a “long term project” than a “day spa” candidate!
We interviewed Stanley at the end of his first week of travels around town and he said that it was “super” to have so many of the kind folks he met at the SBA recognize and welcome him when he visited their establishments. Of course, we also interviewed a few of the business owners where Stanley had dropped in – and there was one universal theme that rang loud and clear from all of them – “Please ask Chief Jones to clarify to Stanley that when asked to ‘leave his tights at home,’ he meant that Stanley should wear something in ‘place’ of the tights.” We can only hope that the chief has delivered the message!
If you would like to meet Stanley and some of his new friends just show up at the next SBA meeting. Just visit their super secret website at Suwanee.org. You may even get to meet Suwaneeman there – tights and all (hopefully)!
