It's a longstanding neighborhood tradition, and not far from where Sears used to be.

I do often wonder, though, where they find all that turtle meat.

Canned maybe?

Canned maybe?

I dunno. It sure seems like it would be awful hard to get a turtle into a can.

That's the thing about turtles - they conveniently come in their own can!

definitely canned, and what a smell! If you say it tastes good, I will believe you ,having never had it myself I cannot say anything about the flavor!

I know that we were smelling the preparations all day on Wed.! Pheww.
Guess I will have to walk over tomorrow, and get some to try.

Just remember folks, be patient... parking will be a nightmare!

Have fun!

Did you ever notice how many times the "Old Sears Building" is referenced as a landmark? I've already read it twice in postings just this morning. It seems St Matthews is where it's always happening! I miss it
