If you're looking for something to do on Thursday mornings, there's always bingo down in Waxahachie.
Lauren Drewes Daniels
As I entered, the restaurant was strangely quiet for being packed. It was a little after 9 a.m. and just about every table in the place was occupied. Diners looked down in front of them, almost as if in prayer, but there were no prayers. Or phones, or red trays full of chicken and biscuits. Even babies were quiet.Everyone was staring at bright green bingo cards in front of them; most had four covering more than half of the table.
For an hour on this Thursday morning — with cars hurrying by on Highway 287 just outside — the dining room remained this way. Every now and then the calm was interrupted by a “Bingo,” and then a chorus of sighs. Usually, about 15 others show up for bingo, but today was a bit more crowded because this was the first bingo game since the store closed for a remodel. Chick-fil-A’s operator, Philip Browne, presented the Stroops with a special gift before the game, which he said was from the corporate office, as a way to say thanks for creating a community at the store and slowing things down a bit every Thursday morning.
