Generally a gambling spot...or club/bar
When I worked briefly for the railroad I was in WV and southeast OH a lot and I saw a lot of "coffee shops". Railroad guy explained that they were really slot parlors but they're not allowed to serve alcohol so they call them coffee shops.

oh what a wonderful day of travel I have ahead of me, didn't sleep long again, missed the hotel breakfast (started at 6, I left the hotel at 5:30) to get the rental back on time, security line almost to the parking garage, grabbed McD and sat and waited, they started boarding then the flight was cancelled, apparently Dallas Ft Worth airport was iced over... now I won't land back in Portland until like 11:30pm after flying through Philadelphia and L.A....

Regional stuff is odd, like road signs in different states being few and far between, but are there if you know what to look for but if you don't you're screwed... I'm from a land of no toll roads, and since they removed all the booths it has gotten extremely inconvenient... and frontage roads in Texas threw me off when I was there, there's only a few places in the Portland area that you have to play the circle game to get around a highway like in Waco... I'm glad I still just have a few Garmin GPS units (hey, they're cheap used, I almost have one for each vehicle...), location services sucks battery life... yes outdated maps have bit me a time or two...

If the governor had his way, every highway in PA would be a toll road by now.

It only said it was like 2 minutes longer to go 340 to 75 or whatever, that's not worth my time of figuring out a toll... I've dealt with that before with a rental car... ended up on a toll road in CA, there was no turn out, and no marks before the point of no return that it was a toll road, you were expected to write down a phone number to call while driving if you didn't have their electronic pass... I got a I think $15 "convenience fee" charged by the rental car company just for sending caltrans to my address then they sent me a I think $75 toll avoidance bill... I sent them a nice letter explaining how dumb they are and they ended up only charging my card for the $2.50 or whatever toll fee...

It does seem the best cheese steaks are in the Philly area. Don’t know why.

I think it's just a lot easier to get sliced rib eye around here than other places so even a so so place starts with a quality beef. And of course, now I'm craving one with some provolone and hots.

My credo
Lead follow or get out of my way
I would probably do a fight to the death for a good cheese steak...

If I won... my wife still wouldn't let me eat the steak... or the cheese.

So honestly... losing a fight to the death doesn't seem all that bad.

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
Did somebody say Cheesecake. I love cheesecake. Especially with strawberry sauce drizzled over it. Blueberry Cheesecake is OK, but

... what!

Cheese steak?

You...
you said chees steak.

CHEESE STEAK?

Oh, never mind.

That shit looks gross.

Reminds me of that time I saw a child being born.

You’re not supposed to just sit there and look at it. You’re supposed to eat it. If you don’t like that, you definitely won’t like a Primanti’s sandwich.
