Pizza: Pizza House, corner of Bennett and Glenstone (thanks to the Standard Station for letting us part on is lot. Stinkers to the people who fenced off the lot in front of their antique store.) We've been eating there since 1964. My wife's family since 1958. Great thin crust pizza. I really like the burnt edges. Even my grandsons like this pizza.
Brooke and her kids shopping at the neighborhood Pricecutter.
Trailer after I put the new front porch up. Yeah, that's a '73 Chevelle in the front. One fast car. but it rusted out in the trunk really bad. I put a set of mags on it and jacked up the rear with air shocks. I had the hottest car in the park!
Look for an upcoming post on trailer parks.
You have far to much time on your hands. Signed your wife.
ReplyDeleteDamn Bp! Ya got punk carded by your wife(at least that's the story for now).
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I'm a Walmart whore. They get all my money. Every once in a while I hit a restuarant here and there. Which gives me an idea of possibly reporting the really bad dives on my blog, would serve them right.
Dang. It is Sniderman's fault. He's the one who wanted to partay with the almost nekkid ladies running around the Bass Pro. Dang.
ReplyDeleteI am assuming that the Wendy's pictured is the one on Sunshine just east of Campbell. It has to be the fastest fast food in town. No need to stop--just roll your window down and drive by and they'll practically throw it at you! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out Pizza House sometime. I love thin crust pizza but I usually get Imo's.
ReplyDeleteWish someone would come up with a list like this for the Four Corners area, SW of Orlando, FL. The hardest part of moving was finding medical people you like and repair facilities you can trust.
ReplyDeleteAdd in Place to Eat in Rockaway:
ReplyDeleteThe Pizza Cellar.
Looks like a dive... keeps the vagrants away. Great pizza, too much smoke, but adds smoky flavor to the pepperoni. And scratch the vagrants comment earlier.
Sniderman, great place for pizza! We eat there every time we go to the B's Nest.
ReplyDeleteget 2 smalls over a large. the crust gets crispier in the middle. Great place to eat. We grab take out and head up to the B's Nest and sit on the deck and eat pizza.
There used to be a great restaurant for breakfast in Rockaway, the hillside restaurant, just down the hill from the cabin, on the side of the hill. Alas, it is closed.
