The following picture is Tuck's main store that is just up the hill a block from the candy factory.
Tuck's Candies began in 1929 and has been a family owned and operated business for all of it's nearly 80 years. After work either tomorrow or Monday, I will post a brief history of the business.Afterthought: Just check out the web site www.tuckscandy.com
Only to add that Walter had a twin brother, George. Walter was the candy maker, George was a pharmacist. The pharmacy was housed in the Main Street building (larger of above) and the candy was and still is sold there. The pharmacy followed in to the second generation but is no longer a part of the business.

My God! Little wonder that you and Mandy are putting on weight! Strewth, woman!
My, my, you are a bit nasty of late! For the record, 'A' and I have only had one piece of candy each all summer. We are on a downward trend weight-wise.
And how are *you* doing?
A-hem! Can't hear you, I'm afraid.
That says a lot.
You alright, m'dear? Gone strangely quiet. Get Mandy to check you over and report back!
Bah, she's still asleep! Well, maybe just busy being lazy.
Anyway, not much noteworthy lately. I'm busy but bored. Work, shopping for winter clothes (hate the thought). Mundane stuff.
I have managed to come up with a new post about being published and about a recent read. Should get it up on the blog later - tonight/tomorrow.
Basically find this time of year depressing. Add to it the election year and...
Otherwise, cynical as always.
