How about a Weight Watchers right next door to an AYCE buffet?

Until a couple of years ago, there was a Weight Watchers in the
Midway Shopping Center here, right next door to the Great Lake
("Chinese") Buffet. The WW moved to the YMCA further down the street
and the Great Lake has become Peking Garden (actually, one of the
better Chinese restaurants in town). Note to self: take the picture
when you see it!
