A couple months ago (I guess it was) we were driving back home from the shore and took what I thought would be a shorter route home. Turned out that it took forever…. But, we did pass through Leonardo, NJ and I was shocked to find that the “block of stores” from the Clerks movies and cartoons is right there….
In the movies and cartoons, Kevin Smith’s made it look like there’s just the Quick Stop and the RST Video store but it turns out there’s a couple more lovely establishments in the strip mall — a tattoo parlor and a dog obedience school. I took the picture with Chia-Jung’s disposable camera at a distance that I figured was just about as close as we wanted to get. I am now regretting not having gone into the Quick Stop to buy (or steal) something, but who knows, maybe I’ll get another chance.
