Belleville

This gourmet popcorn shop in Illinois has the coolest selection of plushies you'll want to get your hands on. You'll leave with one of everything, plus delicious popcorn!

The other day, as I was watching my wife carry in a metric ton or two of Halloween candy from the garage, I happened upon an article that was talking about the hard line being drawn on Halloween trick-or-treaters by the city of Roanoke, Virginia.

The unfortunate Belleville-area man avoided the dog, but was injured by an overnight stay in the tree.

I usually think of pirate movies when I see someone with a parrot on their shoulder--not a guy stuck in an Illinois mud pit.
