My mom grew up around him and Ronnie Spector. Marty Coopersmith from Jay and the Americans. Brooklyn, baby!

Fortunately, no. My next project had just opened....

Awwwww...... When I was 'flush' I would sneak over there when I worked at RUB on my break and luxuriate in a meal with a book or my headphones. Usually I just slammed a bunch of dogs at Chelsea Papaya or cheap chili tacos from Fresco Tortilla. They always were very warm and kind at Malibu and exceptionally consistent. A part of the neighborhood.

I want to go to there

But I bet, toasted and rubbed with garlic it would be great with some olive oil or a soft egg and some roasted asparagus. I'm hungry. Need lunch.

Beautiful crumb @MitchW

Any news that can be shared yet?

blah

I'm so verklempt right now 😢

Saw Amram at Saint Ann's Church at least once....and other places. A local treasure.

Like I said, I'm glad he put this out there. I don't expect to listen to it much. I love me some Springsteen.

I appreciate that he made this. It might take a few listens to grow on me. But I know his heart is in the right place.

Plus there's that token charitable gesture to silence that voice telling you what a symbol of elitist consumerism this is.

My father is coming home from the hospital this afternoon after 48 hours. Thankfully, this does not seem to have been a serious issue. While there may be no logic to this statement: I am not impressed with 2026, so far.

Sunrises have been beautiful as well. I should get a picture but I have been too drowsy.

Might I suggest:

The utensils and napkin are a $10k upcharge.... along with an entry into a raffle to play barefoot pattycake with a masked forager.

Who is going to the $1,500 per person meal in LA?

Soon enough, don't worry. There's plenty of loose nuclear material out there. Don't give up hope.
