The legal drinking age here was 18 in the 1970's. California isn't
the be all end all of everything, you know 😉 Then they raised it
to 19. Then later, 21. These days 21 is still not old enough.

I mentioned CA because that's where I live and so does he. There are
probably still states where the drinking age is 18. If 18 year olds
wants to drink legally while fighting an old man's war, they can move
there.

There are still also states (okay, counties within states) that are carrying
on the Prohibition thing. You can't buy Jack Daniels in Lynchburg, TN where
they distill it. What kind of sense does that make?!

In Jonesboro, Arkansas, you have to buy beer or liquor by the drink in an
approved "club" (which you have to pay to join). They are ridiculous laws
designed to control every aspect of peoples' lives by "churchgoing folk".

I thought we were talking about rather bad pizza? What does Iraq
have to do with it?!

Keep up, Jill. He was talking about the legal ages to drink and to be
inducted (or *drafted* back in my day).

Doonesbury dealt with the draft thing rather effectively. I remember
cutting out the comic from the newspaper. Handled by the post office? Oh,
then there's nothing to worry about 😉

Perhaps, but perhaps also by the state or local tax folks?

In and around Philadelphia, PA, there are afterhours clubs for the benefit of
bar and restaurant staff to tie a few on after the bars close at 2am.

My ex and I went to one. We were only allowed entrance by the generosity of
the bartender where we were drinking, saying tell 'em I (name) sent you. And
we were let in. It was a 4 story building with a theme on each floor. First
floor, bar and video games. Second floor, bar and tables to chat. Third floor
bar and dancing. Fourth floor bar and pool tables. No windows and only one
entrance. Can you say fire hazard.

They closed at 6am or 8am, or whatever time the regular bars open. You could
keep a 24-hour drunk if you didn't pass out first.

Never set foot in one again.

I can only imagine. I've been less than impressed by the american style
pizza that I've sen around, namely Galleria Umberto. Hot dogs and
french fry pizza anyone?

-Gina in Italy

There is a whole-in-the-wall pizza place in the North End (of Boston)
called the Galleria Umberto. Awesome pizza - it's square. Does that
make it Sicilian? There is always a line and they close when they run
out of food. They sell pizza, calzone, those fried, stuffed rice
balls (arancini?) and a potate croquette type thing. I forget what
it's called. All good stuff.

Haven't seen Galleria Umberto in NItaly.
Is this a larger company like Buittoni or Parmalat ?

No it's a mall...there's a pizzeria inside...It's near the royal palace in the
city.

Ah, thank you.
Do they also do Spaghetti-Pizza (pizza with spaghetti Bolognese
on top) ? <shudder>
I've also seen a sauerkraut pizza ...

Cheers,

Michael Kuettner

No just different varieties of the basic red sauce/cheese. I think one
of them had corn on it.
