    Default Olllie's Closeout Stores

    We have one here and I occasionally root thrumy favorite sections (it's very big!). I got a store ad email and went to their website. It's quite funny because it has sound effects when you select a tab. I hardly keep volume up on my speakers, but I was cleaning yesterday. It kinda startled me when my PC yelled out, "GOOD STUFF CHEAP"!! when I moved my mouse! EEK (I've since turned off the sound)

    Hey--it's just a few minutes from CVG airport--I'll pick you up after a short nonrev. Bring an empty suitcase! You can meet Boss as a bonus...

    There's also a button to turn off sound to the left of the tabs. That said, sound in a website (other than a video that the user asked for, of course) is one of the top no-nos. Tsk tsk. I'll have to go back to CVG again some time, if only to get to Jungle Jim's again. But then I'd probably have to rent a car

    Do you know there is a second Jungle Jim's (Eastgate, I-275, Clermont County) ? It's about 20+ minutes from CVG. I'd pick you up any time--I haven't been to this one. I LOVE JJ's! I used to live in Fairfield (maybe before you were born!) It's one of the only great memories of my first marriage...When are you coming? I'll get my coat.
    (PS--I didn't know website sound effects were naughty but, yes, that button was pushed! I learn something new every day!)

    OK, so what’s Jungle Jim’s - a theme park, a river ride, playground equipment, that
    monkey seated on Brian’s head in the photo? LOL!

    All of the above, IF Brian brings his own Barbary Ape.
    Jungle Jim's International Market
    Original location in Fairfield has a giant Elvis Bear, a boat and a train ride (if they ever got it working). Food from all over th world and fresh stuff abounding. Cheeses to make a Frenchman cry and a bakery to take him to his knees. Seafood and produce to make an Asian weep. A wine department to make any oeno-snob take notice. Go when they do tastings. You leave a few pound heavier and plenty of dollars lighter! If you're off this weekdn--its the end of KY Beer Week.

    I do not have a spare ape to bring. They are talking about bringing down the Denver airport mustang (Sculpture of mustang at Denver airport draws wild reaction - USATODAY.com) so maybe I could check that as a luggage.

    That said, I may have to take you up on that offer! So many things I learned about through my travels that I'd have a hard time finding anywhere stateside, not to mention how awesome that place is in general...
