On Saturday Lloyd and I went into Lincoln in the morning (before we went back to Lincoln for the evening’s Gala). He needed to stop at an auction, and shock of shocks – didn’t buy anything there and was ready to leave within an hour.
I still had some errands to run, but I made him stop at a store that looked interesting: Rocket Fizz. It’s at 14th and Pine Lake, and is adorable. It has dozens and dozens and dozens of different kinds of soda pop, and a delightfully huge collection of candies, including some strange ones and oldies.
It’s pricey, though. I was shhhhhhhhhocked at our final total. We bought about 7-8 items and it was over ten bucks. As we left I told Lloyd, “This is event shopping, like for someone’s birthday. That store will never stay open.”
Well, later that day we were talking to Beth, and she said that she had been there – four years ago! She said, “Did you happen to notice that it’s right across the street from a high school? Those kids think nothing of dropping ten bucks on a little snack.”
Well played, Rocket Fizz. Well played.
