Ummm... it's a grocery store

What if you walked into a grocery store that had been in a horrible, mangle inducing crash with the animatronics from the Tiki Room in Disneyland? You might think you’ve gone mental. You might want to jump on the singing cow on top of the dairy case. Or maybe you’d just brake out in some “It’s a Small World of Soy Beverages” type song. What Michelle and I did when we visited the Stew Leonard's in Yonkers NY was stare. It’s not often you walk into a place to pick up some cheese and you leave feeling like you should have spent more time looking for the Abe Lincoln robot that talks about salsa. It was a weird experience. Not bad, just weird. I didn’t bring the camera because I had no idea that the Stew Leonard's Farm Fresh store was Fred Meyers and Walt Disney’s love child. But I did find this short clip on YouTube.com (see below). Just check out the first 15 seconds and you’ll get a small idea of what it was like. Or you could visit Chuck E. Cheeses and ask an employee where to find the cat litter.
