Episode 44
Feeling Seen at the Batavia Popcorn Depot
Heads Up! Our 2nd ever live episode, a Batavia Spooky Season Celebration, is happening October 9th, 7pm at Sturdy Shelter. We'll be featuring conversations with the people behind Batfest, the guy responsible for Midnight on Morton, and a special visit from the Batavia Paranormal Investigation Squad. Tickets are $10, but members of The 630 get in free!
Subscribe to The 630 for free access to our October live show, our upcoming Batavia Favs segment featuring The Popcorn Depot's Talitha Mueller, and other exclusive members-only content and opportunities.
It would be easy to miss the small building nestled in the parking lot between Batavia's new community center and Fifth Third Bank if it wasn’t for the crowds of patrons lined up most nights. But this small business has amassed a substantial following of regulars who stop by weekly or more to treat themselves and their family.
There’s a reason for this - It doesn’t take long for Talitha Mueller to remember who you are. The more you visit, the more you start to feel a part of things.
Was this feeling just a byproduct of Talitha’s personality, or was this something more intentional? And what does running a historic establishment that has an outsized influence on your town do for your own sense of belonging?
