For a couple of days immediately following 9/11 they had a large flag hanging over the home plate entrance...then it disappeared never to be seen again. It would appear that the Mariners, a professional baseball team in the United States, bowed to the pressure from some of Seattle's finest and made the flag disappear.

Until the Mariner's can display the U.S. flag where it can be seen outside the staduim I will continue to boycott them and hope the other team wins. I guess it's safe to say, I hold the Mariners in slightly higher esteem them say...dope dealers. But just slightly.

Did not know that. Thank you for the information. How about if you ever in Pittsburgh, I buy you and your wife lunch at Primanti's.

Just don't be surprised when the cole slaw and fries are on top of the sandwich instead of on the side. It is a shock at first, but there is no better sandwich in the world, IMO.

Does that offer apply to me too? Those sandwiches look disgustingly good. I'll take back what I said about Pittsburg beer and buy you the best hot dog in the world if you're ever in dirty Jersey.

Sounds like a winner.

All-in-all, there is some decent food in this town. Most of what the locals consider good I tend to disagree with but there are some real jewels.

We often go to a little Italian place near our home; tiny, reasonably prices, great food and one of the best kepts secrets around (Palo's). Alex Rodriguez used to come in with his own family fairly often.

As for sandwiches and fries, not much surprised me any more. Here the big deal is tartar sauce for the fries, peanut butter on a bacon-burger. When we used to go up to Canada it was gravy and cheese curds on the fries and a fried egg on the hamburger.

If you're ever out this way we'll take you to one of the little known places.
