Since I heard that this was the "Pecan Capitol" of Texas, we were bound to find great places to pick up pecans, right? Well, I didn't think about it but I guess most places are closed on Sundays, except the Oliver Pecan Company. We were fortunate to not only find them open, but they knew more about pecans than you would ever think that there ever was. It was like talking to the Bubba Gump of pecans. The kid told us about all the varieties, the taste, how he liked them cooked or not cooked, come on Rainman, you have to shut up eventually but at the same time, I would not dare interrupt him because I want to see how long can this go. It was awesome. Regardless, we walked out of there with about 20+ pounds of four different varieties of pecan, pecan oil, candy, and other stuff. They seen us coming a mile away and we was buying.

Whenever we're out and about on South Congress (shopping and/or brunching), we like to stop in for a little treat. They even have an old-fashioned soda fountain where you can get egg cream soda. Now, I'm an expert of sorts on real NYC egg creams and I'll say they do a pretty decent job of it. I love the Italian cream soda! You can get scoops of ice cream, sundaes, and banana splits too. The candy selection is crazy big. Bins and bins of penny candy, gum, chocolate, nostalgia candies...too many to name. It absolutely feels like time has stood still in this marvelously sweet shop. Always a tasty experience!

Walking through the doors genuinely feels like stepping back in time. Decently priced items fire the most part.
