  We were amazed by him freshman and sophomore year, but my junior and senior year he was recycling his lines like Rumpke.
  
  Still a cool dude.

  It was still open last I know of, which was last year at some point. I think I only had food from there once though. PJs was just as good and 50 feet away from my apartment.

  When I lived on Maynard and high we had a bum that hung out behind our place. One snowy winter night in 2007 Rick was trying to cross high street slipped and fell and was run over. RIP Rick. He was a legit bum. Vietnam vet bed roll etc...
