Has Lubbock Gone Pickle Crazy?

What is going on with all of the pickle stuff out there?

Some people are just plain nutty for pickles. Right now in particular I feel like I'm being surrounded by pickles. Now, I'm not a pickle hater, in fact I go through nearly a jar a week because pickles are one of the few things I can eat late at night and not suffer any reflux from. Still, what's with all the pickles?  I think we need to have a talk, but with pictures too so you can enjoy a pickle while you check this out.
