The kids have a list.
Everyone else has concerns.
Back roads, old stories and a coffee counter that hears about all of it. Explore the Kingsville of Wednesdays Without Josh, inspired by the places where KC grew up.

Josh’s daily coffee stop and Kingsville’s unofficial information desk. Bobbert Roberts works the counter. Gordy owns the place. Everyone comes through eventually. The Wild Bill’s beef jerky sometimes leaves without paying.
Meet Bobbert →The abandoned factory the kids thought was a crematorium. It was really a rendering plant. Their parties grow until somebody calls the cops. By morning, The Citgo has heard several conflicting accounts of who was there.
Read the local legends →Abandoned missile silos, teenage curiosity and stories that get better with every retelling. Everyone claims they went farther than everyone else. Bobbert has heard that version, too.
The real produce farm where the group worked in their youth. It was eventually sold, but the memories keep coming back—especially October nights by the tree line, gathered around a fire waiting to chase off pumpkin thieves.
The farm was sold. The stories weren’t. →A nicely finished space with microphones, old friends and an empty seat. Huber, Chris “The Night Ranger” and KC are ready to record. Josh is somewhere else on this map. Probably.
Back to the podcast →A video rental store that has outlasted every prediction of its closure. In the window: Dobbert Roberts starring in Just What the Doctor Ordered, right beside a Heavy Breathers Anonymous flyer.

Kingsville’s seafood store. Crabs, fresh seafood and one very memorable name. Find the little shop with the crab sign just east of the village, near Jerusalem Road.
Another local counter. Another perfectly reasonable place for Josh to stop when he should be somewhere else.
A haberdashery specializing in wide-brim hats. Find the storefront with the oversized hat sign southeast of Kingsville village, right beside the walking-stick shop.
For anyone who feels their entrance could use a little more shade.
Meet the neighbors →Kingsville’s walking-stick store. Wooden walking sticks, hiking staffs and a name that makes a persuasive case for staying together.
Browse the hats next door, then find something to lean on.
For further inspiration: Texas Ranger →Custom laser engraved gifts, made personal. A workshop full of wooden keepsakes, engraved gifts and things that suddenly need someone’s name on them.
Josh came in for one gift. Personalizing it may take a little longer than he told the group chat.
The actual Ace Hardware store in the Kingsville story world. Tools, hardware and the supplies for whatever project someone has decided to start this week.
Buy what you need for the job. The shop next door handles what happens when the job goes badly.
Meet the extremely convenient neighbors →A store devoted to bandages. Adhesive strips, wraps and a business location that practically explains itself.
The hardware store is directly next door. Jorge may find this arrangement particularly useful.
Meet a potential regular →Kingsville’s students love the annual scavenger hunt. The rest of town is preparing to answer “no, we don’t have one of those.” Ted and Ed’s hunt takes an unexpected turn in Episode 2.
