The Wanderers: There is no escaping these free-range moviegoers. They need to keep their dirty Converse off of your picnic blanket.

Including the Cheese Brioche from Sweet Claire Gourmet Bakery in Bloomington (309 E. 3rd St., 812-333-6000), a fluffy, cheddar-infused roll that makes for a fine bagel substitute at breakfast time.
