Festival Foods redux: Must have been a rough weekend for these bears

Back again by popular demand, I assume.


Original 4/13/2016 post, "Madison East Washington Festival Foods is open for business", starts here.


The new grocery store is the major retailer in the new Galaxie high rise apartments.  (Right next door to the Constellation.)





A view of the produce, dairy, meat, and deli areas.






I like the wide aisles.  (I just happened to be lucky in finding this one unpopulated.)




An 'aerial' view.





The Mezz is a dining deck where you can get yourself in the mood to grocery shop -- or just hang out.  Beer, wine, and appetizers are available for purchase.  (The above photo was taken from this space.)

The popularity of Jeffrey as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at Kevin.


Although he initially struggled to make a name for himself in the 1920s, Kevin was warmly embraced by parents of Baby Boomers.  He first reach the top 100 in 1949 and, starting in 1957, spent 23 consecutive years in the top 20, peaking at #11 in 1963.  His star has recently started to dim a bit.
