MAIL DEPT ... From Barris-
ter Larry Rogers ... "In the past
few months, we have been to
Bistro 313 in Pontiac several
times and have really enjoyed it.
\ A short while back, they got a
new chef and now it's even bet-
ter. We usually combine dinner
with a round of golf at the adja-
cent Short Game, a regulation
putting course (not miniature but
actual size putting greens), and
it makes for a fun evening. I
would strongly suggest you check
it out for yourself, and if you agree
with us, give your readers the
benefit of the information about
both of these."
From Max The Handyman Re-
ichstein ... "A friend and I went
to Buddy's Pizza on Northwest-
ern and had quite a surprise. It
was the first time in 50 years that
Buddy's has ever had round
gourmet pizzas to go with its
square ones."

FROM NAPLES, Fla.,
Martha Kane writes of going with
another couple to a place where
you put a coin into one of those
weighing machines that also tells
your fortune as a bonus.
The other hubby proudly read
his card aloud ... "You are bril-
liant, witty and irresistible to the
opposite sex."
His wife, says Martha, nodded
grimly and snapped, "It's got your
weight wrong, too!"

Petri, director of operations at
