I Don’t Think We’re in the Emerald City Anymore

This place would have totally confused me when I was a ten-year-old asking my parents for anything related to the Oz books.

The Land of Oz and Dorothy’s Place is a store in North Haven, Connecticut, that’s been open for thirty-three years. As the local Patch explains, it’s “a smoke shop and adult novelty store that…offers a variety of adult toys, movies and gag gifts.”

This Land of Oz is in the news because it was recently purchased by Monsignor Kevin Wallin, allegedly as a way to launder the proceeds of dealing methamphetamines, though he may also have been a customer.
