To continue off topic, I second that motion! I've grown up loving all things old and used, whether it's a car, a house, clothing or even old businesses that have been around a while. They have character and add color to the world and our lives.

It makes me think of the tiny pizzeria next door to my childhood home (which was also old). It was owned and run by a New York Italian guy named Jerry Bruno - hence Bruno's Pizza. My dad always went there on Friday's to buy his fresh-baked bread. And if I went with him, Jerry would always give me a handful of cut mozzerella cheese to munch on. Try getting that kind of customer service at Pizza Hut.

The pizzeria is still there and run by his son now (I think). (Don't know how they managed to stay there so long considering my old house was torn down next door.) I always think of going back for some of that great bread. I really should, come to think of it.
