Llllllllllet’s get ready for liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinks!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Building Brooklyn Bridge<\/a>. Wowsers.<\/p>\n

She just cobbled these pix together<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wait? We’re Herotodocentric<\/a> now?<\/p>\n

* * *<\/p>\n

We used to have a Jahn’s in Paramus or Fair Lawn<\/a>. I remember eating there when I was in 7th grade. I think a bunch of us ordered the Kitchen Sink.<\/p>\n

I’ve really gotta see Funny Face<\/a> sometime.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/p>\n
