Adriana’s

Tricks Ahoy! A great place to go when you don’t know what to buy.
For kids armed with time and piggy banks to kill, it’s a gee whiz-​worthy opportunity for fiscal and puerile anarchy offering:
Gew gahs, Chattering Teeth, bug ice cubes, Whoopee Cushions of assorted sizes (perfect for ‘breaking’ tension during dicey moments, like a funeral or intervention), two kinds of fake vomit (Chunky or Smooth, an age old debate), Fart spray (air freshner ‘fart’ scented, if that’s what you’re into), dribble glasses, hand buzzers, sparkle stickers, glow in the dark stickers, glow in the dark, sparkle stickers, cans of peanut brittle that spring snakes, cans of snakes that spring peanut brittle, and more.
The original proprietor, Adriana, a zany beautiful blond, found the young Damn Adriane a kindred spirit and joked during each visit she wanted me to take over the store when I grew up. Well, I missed that calling and she since has sold the place. It’s gone downhill in service and selection, not living up to such an attractive moniker.
«Only ONE kind of fake vomit!?» In this economic climate, there are just too many stores selling faux excrement for them to be so exclusive.
