RIP Big Butter Jesus

In closing.... hope I didn't offend anyone's church. But we seem to forget that its Christ House.... not our gym.

Nope, but just stay the hell out of my pew!

Or your folding chair in the gym.

HAHAHAHA... Growing up at Christmas and Easter - and still to this day - they set up the gym for the holiday Masses to accommodate the overflow. They basically run two Masses at the same time and both buildings are full.

We always go to the gym Masses because, according to my father, the C+E Catholics all go to the Church and take up the pews. So every Easter and Christmas we attend church in the gym on folding chairs... The local nickname for where the gym services are held? Our Lady of the Free Throw.

Isn't there a flea market or something down that way with a bunch of giraffe's on the roof too?

I'm going to assume that is also Trader's World.

Or Jungle Jim's.

Yes, it's Trader's World. And don't forget "Treasure Aisles" across the highway, a pirate-themed flea market.

Jungle Jim's, on the other hand, is in the same basic region, but not right there. And it's an extremely large (and awesome) grocery store, not a flea market. Though they do have animals on the roof....

Kind of off topic, but as Ydfalcon mentioned, Jungle Jim's is an awesome grocery store. Live about 3 minutes from it - if you ever want to check out one of the best wine selections in the country (maybe the world), go there.

Beer, too. And a lot of foods as well.

And a great selection of hot sauce also. I have taken my family on weekend excursions so we could go to Jungle Jim's, Union Terminal Museum, and the New Port Aquarium. Pretty much in that order.

Jungle Jim's is a neat place. I thought if any place would carry Yuengling west of Pennsylvania it would be them, but they told me that Yuengling will not distribute in Ohio period.


I used to live by there in 95-96 and Jungle Jims is even bigger than it was then.

It seems like he is expanding that store every two or three years... I remember being 5 or 6 and walking through that store - it's three times as big as it was then. He even has his original road-side stand (basically just support beams and a roof) inside his store. I'd have to say it's probably less than 800 square feet. It's crazy to think that's what the man started with back in 1974.
