Pictures of the Shop

It was a warm day for winter and I decided to take a walk around campus and grab a few shots of the old place. It was sold and changed name to Adriatico's close to 20 years ago...not sure exactly when.

I made this turn up the alley downshifting a VW a million times!
Looking in the kitchen window from across the street.
The crew at Adriatico's was friendly and after a little hesitation let me take a couple pics in the kitchen. I assured them they keep it much cleaner than we did! That looks like the same Hobart mixer with the cheese grater attachment on it. Wonder who gets stuck with cleaning that tonight?
They now do their pizza making in the window here. Pretty good idea since we were always looking out the window anyway!
Dining room door. There was no pac-man or gorf! What are you supposed to do when your in there drinking till the sun comes up? Paul Pryor was hooked on pacman. I bet he still has nightmares about those little blue ghosties. He'd play for hours at the end of the night till all the drivers had checked in. Then we would usually all hang out for a while and have a few beers off the tap. Sometimes playing euchre for hours. Pryor and I would partner sometime and see how many hands in a row we could steal the deal. We would divert attention with loud talk and take turns raking the cards in and dealing. ...like 12 hands would go by!
Hope these guys didn't think I was too crazy! Probably still talking about me...
