I have a ton of stuff that I’ve Twittered/Facebooked about over the past month, but haven’t felt well enough to sit down and write a post. There is so much news here you may need to take a nap to get through it. Let’s see how far I can get. I promise to quit

Word on the street: the folks behind the Pizzacatto and Sal’s Famous Italian restaurants are opening a bakery in the pearl district space on NW 10th and Lovejoy. This has been a problematic location for years – some say it is cursed. I say none of the restaurants have ever been any good, and
