    I've never seen a Fellini flick, but every time I hear it described, it sounds more like Gummo land.

    "Gummo" is a damn sight closer to the mark. I wonder how many people have gone to FK expecting to see ...

    I'd always heard the Walgreen's in that area referred to a the Diane Arbus Walgreens, but it would be easier to just consolidate everything into Fellini Land.

    NEVER go to the John Waters Radio Shack for an adapter is all I got to add to this.

    For the record, Is this an admission of complicity in the adaptation of Raincrow?

    Heard about this thread yesterday at lunch. First thing I saw on FB-eeezy this morning:

    "Only at Fellini Kroger: Santa in a Jazzy Chair."

    There is some kind of portal/transfer where they appear and disappear by BP and Grainger.

    I once bought a guitar for a half pack of barbecue sunflower seeds and "all the change in that ash tray."

    It was a harmony jazz-master knock off.

    A greasy greasy hobo was wielding it as a bludgeoning weapon while screaming at a female hobo at the bus stop by the paint store.

    I pulled up on the curb and said "hey you wanna sell that guitar?"

    I had the sunflower seeds in my hand at the time and he peered in the vehicle to see what I had.

    Seen some interesting things at that Walgreens as well.

    But Raddys is the eye of the temple.

    They loiter in the aqueduct below the street...

    Fellini-land indeed.

    But yeah Fellini seems a bit maligned for such an avidly southern locale.

    Gummo is a bit glib.

    It's probably too pedestrian and not in keeping with the auteur theme,
    but it seems more Coen bros than Fellini.
