When I first moved here that was one of the first CA commercials I saw and it made me question my move. Phila had Krass Brothers Men's Store, "Store of the stars" but this "dog spot" stuff was too bizarre. I also remember Jerome (of Jerome's Furniture) dressed up like Rambo. And everything was named "barn" in some way. I am still getting used to it.
