I agree that the first two letters were emotional and not productive in any sense. And I include myself among those who reacted emotionally to them. Ms Wolf did have the luxury of being able to step back and take a breath before writing, while the rest of us did not.

Dean, I very much look forward to Deano’s (sp. “Dino’s”?). As Fred said, it will be great to have another strong choice for lunch or dinner around here. And, of course, we know Dean will be generous with all the charities in town, as he was in Millerton.

I am sure there will be concerns at the hearing about traffic and adequate parking. I look forward to the responses and to Marshall’s taping the affair. Just don’t put the camera behind me so that my bald spot goes on cable for an hour!

Jake,

You are referring to Angelo, who died in the early 90s. He moved his pizzeria to the old Southboro fire station (I think in the late 70s). I was there in 1997 and ordered some food and guess who was behind the counter — Angelo’s kids who used to help him sell pizza when they were barely out of diapers. So in that case, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

Your quote….

Rather than get carried away by emotion or indignation, Ms. Wolf calmly questioned whether the town of Salisbury’s historic district commission “is strong enough” to ensure that signage and other exterior alterations will be consistent with the district. She also wondered whether parking and access were sufficient given the buidling’s location on a fairly dangerous section of Route 44.

Did Ms Wolf raise parking concerns when two galleries opened next to one another? Did any one complain about the Art places out in front of some of the art galleries? Did thosse galleries get permits to place the art there? Are people who go to art galleries exempt from getting hit by traffic?

I am so tired of rules being bent one way or another. The initial letters against the Pizza establishment were way off base, and any attempt to justify them is weak at best…..

I will be there with A CATV 6 camera on 10/3 at 6 PM to record the great pizza controversy that won’t die. Hell, maybe I can make a documentary out of the footage…Call if War of The Classes instead of War of The Worlds!!! Or Attack of the Killer Pizza!

Marshall

ps- Terry, perhaps it’s not the actual game, but time with your son that’s so important.

The cooking and exhaust systems in restaurants are vastly superior to anything you have in your home, UNLESS you have a complete commercial system installed, and that includes the fire suppression system. You cannot buy this stuff from Home Depot, or for that matter any of the local building supply houses.

The oven/vent system is engineered to deal with the heat created by HOURS of constant heat. We are not talking about DiGiorno’s here, one pizza for 20 minutes in a 400 oven. The building’s construction is only relevant where the exhaust stack, generally double wall insulated stainless steel, actually runs through the building. The only reason for its relevance is the difficulty of cutting holes and installing the insulated pipe with the necessary clearance distance around the pipe. So, how does this synopsis compare with anyone else’s exhaust pipe from your stove?

Does your insurance company require a yearly inspection by one of their representatives to ensure that you are in compliance with the insurance company requirements? Do you have a professional company come to your home twice a year to clean the entire exhaust system? Is your automatic fire suppression system serviced twice a year?

BTW, I have over 30 years experience as a chef, still cook professionally in a commercial kitchen, and have helped design and spec out 6 kitchens in that time.

Dean, are you hiring the Bikini Clad Dancers from Q103??

PS Sounds like Dean is the Wal-Mart of Salibury. Go Dean!

if only to have another option on my lunch break than labonnes.

i used the bathroom in the giant’s locker room once.

PS Wasn’t it you who went to that Pat’s game in the first season at the old Foxboro with Hank L. and me when it snowed like crazy?
