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.
KnoxZine - a new and upcoming online magazine
go there quite often. i call it the argento walgreens. unlike fellini kroger, it's not so much that i see odd people, but weird unexpected things seem to happen there on a regular basis. i love no-kno!
"It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia."
NEVER go to the John Waters Radio Shack for an adapter is all I got to add to this.

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.
