Oct. 2nd, 2003 08:34 pmNow that I've finished the doubtless Boring Life Update...something else, semi-related.
Edit: I also refuse to apologize to the cows, now or ever.
Tell me about your favorite place to go for pizza or something similar when you were growing up. Preferrably one that was non-chain or somehow unique to your area compared to the other members of the chain. (Or, if it was just geographically wierd. IE: a Noble Roman's above the Mason-Dixon.)
In my case, there used to be a place near my Grandparents called 'The Depot'. Italian food, and good, but also with a neato atmosphere, including tons of train stuff (it was at an old train yard in Quaker Square), and model trains that not only ran above tables but beside them! And they had a train layout you could go watch and enjoy while waiting. Not as interactive as arcade games, but better and special.
It's gone, now. And I miss it.
So tell me about yours?

Date: 2003-10-02 06:10 pm (UTC)There was a Noble Roman's in Elkhart, Indiana up until about, oh... 1988, I believe. We used to go there when I was in middle school and my freshman year of high school.
Elkhart had a lot of good places to get pizza. There was Volcano's Pizza... great pizzas, awesome sandwiches. Colombo's on South main was my first exposure to Chicago-style deep dish, and I miss it terribly. Vesuvio's is also one of my childhood favorites-- and on a recent visit back, it still lived up to my memories.
Regrettably, the only pizza my wife seems to want to order is Donato's thin crust.
