chickpeas...???? My mind must be slipping ...can you explain the chickpeas ?? Was it in reference to the "Highland Arms Resturant ??" I want to buy the box factory she owns ...fine old building just going to waste...

Instead of letting Ralphie have normal snacks, Mrs. Nader would hand out chickpeas for him to suck on, which explains his ascetic path in life and why he's so angry at anyone who's having fun.

If you mean the nice old brick structure to the north and below the soldier's monument, yes, it's a fine building and I too have envisaged turning it into something useful, like a Monaco's (steal Franca and gang) style restuarant or a club.

It would be nice if another '55 flood would wipe out the welfare queens and gangstas that now HUD-dle in the neighborhood behind the police station.
