no Lounge?" . . . Who knows?

"575" . . . Mr. Lapides said,
"Tuesday" . . . Mr. Cohen
replied, "Nine" ... "That's won-
derful," said the instructor.
"How did you arrive at that?"

opened as Picasso's Pizza &
Grill.
Thanks to the getting-start-

Association, Scott Herskovitz

over with a fine menu selection
from which to choose.
One of the big features is 32
different pizza toppings, among
the largest around . . . plus
chicken, ribs, subs, salads, etc.
