For me and trying not to spend money. While out exploring the nether regions of Shopping Mall USA, we stumbled across this place: We went there for lunch both days running this weekend-an expensive indulgence ( the sandwhich I like is $6.39-but it is soooo good!). The bread is primo

Despite what anyone tells you, anti-terror laws do not necessarily prevent attacks, they just make the investigations and subsequent prosecutions easier.
