Saturday

I’m pretty sure this company went out of business.

My mother never shut up

That’s my dear friend Mell Lazarus. He passed away in 2016

    Nope. As they note: “It’s Pretty Sweet Inside Uranus!”

    Here’s the localized/zoomed-in Google Maps location:
    https://www.google.com/maps/place/Uranus+Missouri+Towne+Center/@37.8287799,-92.1059473,18.12z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x87dae7435ca5ec4d:0x6824ebc405d1c1b3!8m2!3d37.8291694!4d-92.1051106!16s%2Fg%2F11cmh5f3rq?authuser=0&entry=ttu

    Here’s the factory’s website:
    https://www.uranusgeneralstore.com/

    Here is the yelp website for it:
    https://www.yelp.com/biz/uranus-fudge-factory-and-general-store-saint-robert-2

    I couldn’t verify where that sign is, but despite its old-timey look, it has a modern website URL on the bottom right.

    Speaking of Google Maps, here’s a zoomed-out version showing where Uranus, MO is located:
    https://www.google.com/maps/place/Uranus+Missouri+Towne+Center/@34.6257292,-96.114356,5.88z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x87dae7435ca5ec4d:0x6824ebc405d1c1b3!8m2!3d37.8291694!4d-92.1051106!16s%2Fg%2F11cmh5f3rq?authuser=0&entry=ttu

    Look carefully at the state boundary lines. Is it my imagination — or maybe it takes a warped imagination to see it — but is that ‘town’ location ‘anatomically correct,’ assuming everyone involved in naming the ‘town’ was in on the joke?

    * The official town looks like St Robert
