Checked out your website and your products. You don't list the ingredients, so I would never purchase any. Also, your prices are very expensive for products that use popcorn as the main ingredient.
IKEDA’S in Auburn, California has the best burger I have ever eaten in my 55 years of existence.
Love these down state stores!😊
Love all small towns down state Illinois north east south and,west💜💜
Carmi,a bountiful place so says the Bible. Yes carmi through its origins has been a bountiful place of wealth and prosperity at one time. An abundance of white iak and hard wood timbers and a mill ,the wealth of very fertile soil deposits from the recession of an ancient glacier ,that attributes to the abundance of corn ,beans and wheat. So prominent farmers got the three fold blessings of crops,oil and natural gas,and eventually coal production on the land that they leased or sold. Carmi was my childhood home and it retains a nostalgic heart felt memories of my dearly departed family. Though being the county seat ,i must say the old town looks like it died and went to hell in a hand basket. Coming into carmi from Crossville and to the east river bridge looks like a grave yard of deceased oil field equipment and old vehicles. The 1970,s proved carmi to be a major party town for the transitioning of lsd,pink either based meth,and tons of pot through out southern illinoi. At that time
I haven't been there yet but looks fun
Ohhhh my 5th grade teacher loved shimoji
This is where I live and I love vandalia and you my friend struck a nerve when you said PONY shoe around here we call it a HORSE SHOE LOL
Boy do I love living in vandalia
Is it a safe town to visit?
Hour from St Louis? It's an hour from Belleville!
Can't wait!!
Still fine!
So glad to hear you on USA network doing T&F for the 2024 Olympics. You brought back happy memories of your insane feats of hurdling! Why isn't USA showing you and the other two commentators on the screen? USA doesn't even stream your names while analyzing. They are not qualifying, but hopefully they will take advantage of the "Second Chance" feature and put you three on camera! 😂
Highland Happenings
Charters patio used to be a hotel and then it burned down then it was another hotel that burned down then it was a restaurant that burned down
The town looks like any place in.mississippi
Casey is awesome
I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Those are the trucks, and I know the trucks definitely don’t go 200 around WWT… it’s not a super speedway, lol. Great video though!
the indycars barely reach 200, wwt is small enough that they have to shift around corners
Its spegetti
Let's go 😉🥂🍇
1:05 The machine with the corn in it, is that a corn binder? What make model?
