Jun. 29—There was an episode of “Saturday Night time Stay” with a skit that includes John Belushi as a man opening a store in a mall that solely offered Scotch tape. Interval. I discovered it very humorous and likewise a bit disconcerting as a result of, nicely, I would go in a Scotch tape store and browse though it was solely rows and rows of Scotch tape.
Undecided if this explains why I really like Capizzano Olive Oils & Vinegars in Pawcatuck — which sells olive oils and vinegars — and Westerly Packing, which sells meat. In fact, every institution has way more than simply their titular merchandise. Who knew there have been so many varieties of olive oil? The Capizzano people do, plus they provide all kinds of intelligent issues that improve the olive oil and/or vinegar experiences. And over at Westerly Packing? Sure! Extra sorts of meat and sport than one million Ted Nugents may dream of, nevertheless it’s additionally a specialty meals store, a wholesaler and a grocery correct.
The one factor I did not see at both place? Scotch tape.
