new england what now
Date: 2005-04-07 08:27 pm (UTC)My grandmother is from Philly but has been going to the Cape for decades. One of the first years she and my grandfather went up there, they saw a sign advertising Italian grinders. My nice little Jewish grandmother said, "Well, I don't know why they have to advertise the fact that the butcher's Italian!"
I kid you not.
