OT: Casey's General Store

[MelroseHawkins]

HAHA. Never, ever stop over there. My wife and SIL got lost and decided to turn around in East St Louis. These are 2 skinny blondes. It was night. A cop stopped them and told them to get out. Dont stop at stop lights, just go.

Holy shit.

 

[MelroseHawkins]

Dude.

My wife is a bigger girl who works at that Casey’s. Greenhill and Algonquin?

Wtf, man.

LOL. You never disappoint!

Casey's has the worst donuts, Donutland is the best. I do like Casey's sub sandwiches, and they are fair priced. Casey's taco pizza is good when you have a bad hangover.

I didn't know that Donutlant land was still a going concern! Wow. Thought they were out of business. They're not listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doughnut_shops

There is one on Center Point Rd in Cedar Rapids. Every September for about three months they break out their pumpkin donuts. This was a regular hang out for former Iowa broadcaster Bob Brooks, saw him many times here over the years. Kennedy HS s just a few blocks away, the walking tacos are famous with the Cougar students.

Natty Light? PBR? I hear you though. We have relatives in Nebraska and they don't drink at all. I always stock up on beer, good beer. They don't have a Casey's but they do have a damn good Mexican restaraunt

If i have to go to inlaws, its the strongest beer i can find! A double IPA usually is adequate

I'm in Iowa only 1- maybe 2 x per year and grabbing a large Casey's taco pizza is about as certain for me as death & taxes.

Donutland's maple long johns are the best in town. I take my son there on Sunday mornings once a month to get donuts there. We live in Marion, but it's worth the drive across town. When we drive past Dunkin' Donuts on the way there, my son sometimes asks if that's where we're going. I always tell him "Nope, we're getting the good donuts today!" You got to go early though because the maple long johns are usually gone by 9.

I don't know how long this location has been there, but I found receipts from 1986 at my old workplace for work they had done there. I presume the work would have been performed just before it opened.

So are their Dutch Crumb, cherry donuts, vanilla sprinkled donuts, glazed pumpkin & green apple crisp. There use to be a Donutland in Iowa City, but it closed years ago. A few months ago I went there on a Sunday morning at around 7:30, the line was out the door.

I'm generally not a fan of cake donuts, but I've never eaten one from Donutland that I didn't like. I usually try to get there before 8, and the line is sometimes out the door by then already.

Earlier this month we adopted a couple kids we've been fostering for the last year, and this has become the special treat we do for them. Seeing the smiles it puts on their faces is priceless.

Dude.

My wife is a bigger girl who works at that Casey’s. Greenhill and Algonquin?

Wtf, man.

I think she waited on me.

Nope, not her.

First thought of Casey's to me.... farmers drinking all the coffee they can while bitching about who's worse off and losing their ass while their new pickups sit outside.

Second thought, running late for work standing behind some ass bag with nothing better to do holding up the check out for f**king lottery tickets.

You nailed that one. That's why I don't go to Casey's anymore. Usually 1 check out line a mile long and some octogenarian hemming and hawing over what lottery tickets they want, then digging through their change purse for enough nickels and dimes to pay the tab.

I'm strictly a Kwik Star guy now.

When my wife and I go to mother in laws for Christmas (she lives in a small town in SE Iowa) she always has us pick up the Casey's Pizza. She hates to cook, so this is our Christmas Eve dinner. I volunteer to pick up assorted items from the deli on the way south at HyVee, but no, we have to have that pizza. And, she is a teetotaler, so forget any good beer to wash it down with.

Bah, humbug.

My wife's side of the family is like that. The day before, I stop at the liquor store and grab some shooters so I can spike my soda before I arrive. Makes turkey day much more tolerable.

Kwik Stars can get crazy because people load up on milk, butter, bananas and eggs. But on the positive side they have multiple urinals and stalls in their washrooms.

Many Casey's washrooms, on the other hand, are one-holers.

So, you're the guy that fucked up my pizza

I was a certified Pizza Artisan! I even blotted the nasty grease from the pepperoni pizzas, like you’re supposed to. Working in the kitchen was cake, working the register sucked.

Enjoying a large Taco Pizza from Casey's during the Michigan/O$U game. I'm so full, I might have to un-button my pants to breathe
