Hank: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there’s four places. There’s the Hammock Hut, that’s on Third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Hank: There’s Hammocks-R-Us, that’s on Third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There?
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
Hank: That’s on Third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot… Matter of fact, they’re all in the same complex; it’s the hammock complex on Third.
Homer: Oh, the hammock district.
Hank: That’s right.

Thank goodness the Mud Bay Granary has moved. Because I will tell you, what the Overlake area needed was another MATTRESS STORE, and boy howdy, this one is a doozy. The new Mattress Outlet Store’s sandwich-board people actually get to wear CROWNS!!
Now, let’s see. So there’s the Levitz store just off 148th and 24th — they sell mattresses. And then there’s the old Bon Marche furniture store, now rebranded as Macy’s furniture store, just one block down from 148th and 24th — they also sell mattresses. And there’s Sleep Country USA, just off 148th and 24th, who sell mattresses. Oh, can’t forget their twin across the street — Sleep Country Plus!. Mattress Depot, off near 148th and 20th sell mattresses. Matter of fact, they’re all in the same 4 block area. I think it’s cute how they clump together like that.
