Think Globally, Eat Indiana!

Last Friday, in anticipation of the busy college foooball and NFL games coming that weekend that I had a particular interest in, while shopping at the nearby "Venezuelan" Target in Aventura on Biscaybe Blvd. & N.E. 213th Street -called such by SBH because of the demonstarbly large number of insanely beautiful Venezuelan women who shop there during the course of an average week -especially late in the afternoon and early evening, after getting their organic groceries at the next door Whole Foods Market- I decided to go chip-less over the weekend and go for popcorn instead. You know, just to mix it up.
In some ways it sort of reminds me of the Bloomingdale's parking lot at The Falls down in South Miami-Dade County when I was living near there during the summers of 1980-82, home from IU.

While moseying around the dollar area of the store in the front, near some very funny merchandise from The Office, going for a buck, what do you suppose I spot but some reasonably priced popcorn, and from the Hoosierland no less? Not delicious Orville Redenbacher popcorn that, depending upon who from 'The Region' you talk to, helped make Valparaiso famous, but rather popcorn from Van Buren, Indiana, the "Popcorn Capitol of the World."

Maybe I've just not been looking hard enough, but last Friday was the very first time that I ever saw Pop Weaver in this Target.
