Finally, I have gotten them up in my gallery.
- That Store Which Still Cannot Be Named – ultra-tacky stuff. Like, you just wouldn’t believe. It’s arguably less tacky this year than it was last, but wow. It’s still bad. Tack-o-rama.
- Clarksville Antiques – I love this place. And the inventory, um, well, it’s basically the same, down to the highball glasses I still really want. If they’re there next year, they are mine.
- Gino’s Pizza – A few pictures of their interior.
- Mariposa Cafe – It’s either dead or dying, and that makes me very sad.
- One Cat – Just a random snapshot of Gogo laying on the bed at the lakehouse. I kept trying to get shots of Didi and Gogo perched on the steps into the living room, but they’d always move.
Update: If you’re looking for them, here are links to last year’s pictures and my gallery in general.
The store which still cannnot be named….
Robust McManlyPants reprises last summer’s trip to the Land that Taste Forgot and finds that Jesus has left the building (mostly). Still yields a bunch of entertaining pictures, though…….
Why can’t the store be named? Did they threaten you with legal consequences if you blogged pictures of them?
Originally I declined to name the store because I was afraid I would hurt their feelings. But now I know the ways of Googleproofing, and so I will say it. It is a booth-style shared space, where the cashiers track whose stuff is being purchased. Its name is the Vir/gini/a Av/enue Ma/ll.
Noble. There is also a Virg/inia Av/enue in Modesto, but it has no M/all to its name — just welfare motels.
It’s the main drag in Clarksville. It has everything from the liquor store to the ice cream parlor to the herbal tea shop to the VAM, and it’s all of three or four blocks from end to end.
