Hot Roasted Peanuts<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The Peanut Shop<\/p>\r\n

South Bend, IN.<\/p>\r\n

I remember in the 1950’s and 60’s, in the middle of South Bend, at Michigan\u00a0St. and Monroe, there was always an aroma of Peanuts in the air. Planters Peanuts had company stores and we were fortunate to have one in our city. Mr. \u00a0Peanut, himself would even walk around outside giving samples of peanuts that you could buy in the store. I spent many-a-days visiting that store.\u00a0 I was always fascinated with the neon sign of Mr. Peanut\u00a0 throwing his\u00a0cane up in the air.\u00a0 I watched it as it would encircle the sign and he would catch it when it came down.<\/p>\r\n

While I was in Wyandotte, Michigan at an Art Festival in the early 2000’s, I met the man that was the manager of the store.\u00a0 He said he was the man in the peanut suit in his early years.<\/p>\r\n

The Peanut Shop, has\u00a0since left and the building torn down, but the memories are still around.\u00a0 This is one of those paintings I did to recapture some of those memories.<\/p>\r\n
