A week after we moved to town, the owner of the Italian restaurant got sick and decided to retire. I was sad that there’d be an empty store on our new main street but I was confident that the location would be filled since it was successful, just closed for unfortunate circumstances. A year later, it’s soon to re-open as a hot chicken spot. I love hot chicken, but I hate their AI generated sign. I usually avoid places with AI signs, there’s enough other sandwiches in the world, but I can’t abstain from hot chicken within walking distance forever. I decided to try all my other local spots before the hot chicken place opens. Every day I drive by Big Mike’s “homemade meatballs” sign so today I decided to get a sub. Not as good as mom’s but better than computer generated. I realize this has become a food blog. If you’re reading this in reverse order, you’re already familiar with a me that knows this. I’ve been trying to eat an octopus for weeks and finally accomplished that this week as well. I’ve been trying to appreciate the city more, and not just the gutters I’m familiar with. I have a great time in random places like Cleveland, why not have a great time in Philadelphia?

Blowing my ears out recently at shows. Back to back this weekend from two underground venues both literally. I never saw so many unironic rock and rolls hands, and I never saw someone take a break from the circle pit to air-guitar. Had TWO chicken cutlet sandwiches this weekend, one great and one just ok. I don’t want to include pictures of the sandwiches this time, but this could become a new obsession. Recently I had to explain some of my food obsessions. They don’t sound weird individually, but it’s slightly crazy to tell someone I count my hotdogs all year but I only count my eggs in December.

I still have the skunk movie on the backburner, but there was another activity on that adventure out West. There’s an old abandoned stretch of highway out in PA. It’s nothing secret, the trail is literally handicapped accessible. We saw a lot of kids on bikes and little old ladies walking scrappy dogs. It was still really cool. A lot of teens trying spray paint for the first time in over this stretch of eight miles.
