Ain't technology grand?

FYI: I spent the afternoon at the Yale University library and got a
chance to look through their photo collection - amazing images there,
some unbelievable historical documents. I was awed. Spent a couple of
hours with the one of the graduate students doing some research - a
very nice young lady who tolerated an old fart with an interest in
photography.

Good time was had by all.



Too bad you are eating...I'd recommend Pepe's on Wooster Street.

Pepe's Pizza is terrible. The pizza tastes of soot, and is bland beyond
belief.

Check out this video made from inside Pepe's and decide for yourself-

Pretty sad. Looks like a pizza I got at a place in Edwardsville, Il.
My sis lives there and she avoids eating pizza there, but I was
visiting and felt like having pizza. She figured it might be okay
because this was one of the "toniest" restaraunt/pizzarias in town.
It was a disaster. So thin and overcooked the cheese was burned and
the sauce blackened. And it was a 30 buck disaster. For a 16".
Course if you like that kind of pizza........ Go for it!
Worked in a Chicago suburb once and my workmates - all from that
suburb or nearby suburbs - raved about a local pizza place.
We went there for lunch once and I was looking forward to it.
Bit into the pizza, and the sauce was... ketchup.
Damn.
