... went to High School in Detroit...
Never knew there was a "Detroit" style pizza ....
"Ignorance is Bliss", lol !
Detroit pizza started at Buddy's Rendevous in the 1940s. In short order, the Cloverleaf, Shield's, and Louie's all opend with a similar style. For 40 years, you had to go to one of those 4 east side locations to get it. In the 1980s Shield's and Buddy's both started opening other locations. We used to get it all the time. It was considered the best pizza. It's made from a foccacia style bread, then the toppings, then covered in Wisconsin brick cheese edge-to-edge. The tomato sauce goes on top in 2 or 3 stripes.

Now it's all over the country.

When I was back home for my aunts funeral, we all broke for lunch to Buddy's. That night back at someone's house, they ordered Buddy's. The next day at my cousin's, you guessed it......Buddy's.

I don't want another for a very long time.

A young and nervous Yogi Berra, in his first full season, finds the courage to ask Babe Ruth to pose for a photo in 1947. Babe passed away the following year, and Yogi went on to an illustrious career. This is the only photo of the two legends together.

... used to look thru the wooden fence every morning on my way from the subway to my office on Broad Street...
Hole was so deep, they had a Subway route suspended from one side to the other, and were working UNDER it !

Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it's got a warm pie in it.
Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place.
Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night.
It's a whole lot easier to get breakfast from a chicken than a pig.
Always pat the chickens when you take their eggs.
Biscuits brown better with a little butter brushed on 'em.
Check your shoelaces before runnin' to help somebody.
Homemade's always better'n store bought.
A tongue's like a knife. The sharper it is the deeper it cuts.
It's easy to clean an empty house, but hard to live in one.
Enjoy doing your children's laundry. Some day they'll be gone.
All children spill milk. Learn to smile and wipe it up.
There's no such thing as woman's work on a farm. There's just work.
Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add more water to the soup.
A good neighbor always knows when to visit and when to leave.
A city dog wants to run out the door, but a country dog stays on the porch 'cause he's not fenced-in.
Always light birthday candles from the middle outward.Nothin' gets the frustrations out better'n splittn' wood.
You'll never catch a runnin' chicken but if you throw seed around the back door you'll have a skillet full by supper.
Visit old people who can't get out. Some day you'll be one.
The softer you talk, the closer folks'll listen.
The colder the outhouse, the warmer the bed.
