So my city was recently voted to have....

The best fall festival in the US by USA Today.

I don't have too much civic pride. Especially after our city was voted the fattest in America. But this win can at least explain some of that lol.

West Side Nut Club has the best gloryhole in the USA for sure!

So uh, what do you do at a "nut club", exactly?

Bloomington’s fall stuff was pretty good, but COVID derailed that hard because we’re the part of IN that actually took it seriously….in general. There usually is a Pride festival, an arts festival, and a music festival, but they’ve lost their oomph (same for the local food festival). Hell, even the weekly farmers’ market has lost a lot of its steam since the pandemic (though having the Oath Keepers and BLM clash over a former farmer’s market vendor that were exposed in court for attempting to help burn down a synagogue did not help).

Pretty much this...

I went to Evansville, Indiana once to try a restaurant that served "Fried Brain Sandwiches". That is the depth of my knowledge of your city.

Funny you mention Evansville, since I was talking to my wife the other day about taking a road trip there, since it's the closest location to a Grandy's, which I haven't eaten since I was 9 years old.

That used to be my favorite chicken restaurant.

It’s alright, but I’m at an age now where I simply can’t abide eating food like that anymore. I want to do right by my aging heart.

Personally, I don’t care for Evansville so take anything I say with a grain of salt. It’s a depressing city that is in decline, which is worse than it sounds because of where it started. It’s hardly the only city in Indiana like that, but none of the others I’ve been to feel as bad as Evansville. I felt bad for my wife that she was stuck in that shithole as a travel nurse for over a year, especially since she had limited food choices as a vegan (for health reasons).

Don’t you know the first rule of Nut Club?

Did anyone else click on the thread hoping the sentence was going end "a new monorail".

Went to the Nut Club back around 2005-2007 (Can’t remeber the exact year I went) when I lived in Evansville and got a scorpion pop, a lollipop with a formerly alive scorpion in the center of it. Kept that thing for years in my refrigerator until recently when I moved and I must have lost it. 🥲

I know the jokes write themselves, but to clear it up the West Side Nut Club is a group of buisnessmen who do civic projects on the west side of Evansville.
