Serop's closing was posted here a month or so ago. Didn't realize Albasha on Corporate was closing too.

re: What city in Italy?

Posted by r3lay3r on 12/18/25 at 7:15 pm to
As with most European cities, driving is usually to be avoided. But outside of the cities it's usually not a problem, except for the Amalfi coast. Florence and the Tuscan surroundings, Umbria too, are my favorite. The Antiquities and the Vatican museums make Rome worthwhile. Venice has its charms too, but the biggest drawback is the crowds when multiple cruise ships unload. There's a website that lists cruise arrivals in most major European ports that you can use plan a trip to Venice and arrive when there will be smaller numbers of cruise tourists.

Not the CVS, but the other end of the building where a gymnastics business was.

That's standard prices for any non-import in a BR restaurant.

I forgot about them. That Serop's was my first experience with Greek/Lebanese food, mid 1980's.

I had a large portion of Lacinato kale I bought at the Farmer's Market a week and a half ago that I needed to do something with. So I cooked the kale down with sliced onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and added cannellini beans and heated them through.

Cooked up some pasta, added sliced grilled Italian & Green onion sausage, and about half of the cooked down kale.
