Today, I visited the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market and learned quite a bit about apples and pumpkins. It is the season for these two, and the market was chock full of both. Here’s the video, which includes two interviews.
By the way, the building in which the PWPM operates is big enough to contain the Empire State Building (on its side). And, they transact more than a billion dollars worth of business every year. As long as you’re buying a case, you can buy there. So, if you have a big event planned, don’t hesitate to check it out for great prices and the best selection.

Scott Derby, illustrator
Scott Derby is one fantastic illustrator. He also creates his own pop-art works that key into cultural icons many of you will recognize. Check out this one derived from Cheech and Chong’s movie, Up In Smoke.
Scott Derby’s “Cheech and Chong.”
Then there was this one based on the Ramones.

These two examples give you a sample of Derby’s work. Here is the man himself standing with yours truly:

You can purchase Derby’s work through Etsy.com, by simply going to the site and searching “Scott Derby.” It’s fun and interesting to meet the artist behind the work and chatting with Scott, who has a wicked sense of humor, was a blast.
