HI MAC....MY BELOVED MOTT STREET, AS YOU KNOW I ALSO WAS BORN THERE IN 1919. THE NAME MOTT ALSO INVOLVED MY YOUNGER BROTHER "CHUCK". A FAMILY IN LAWRENCEVILLE BY THAT NAME HELPED HIM GET TO MEDICAL SCHOOL IN HONOR OF THEIR SON WHO PASSED AWAY. NO ONE SEEMS TO REMEMBER THE STORE WE HAD AT 123 MOTT IN THE 20'S AT THE CORNER OF NEW ST., WHICH REALLY WAS AN ALLEY. GOD BLESS THE CHAMBERSBURG RED SOX AND ALL OUR OTHER NEIGHBORS WHO LIVED THERE AT THAT TIME. BEST REGARDS.

Oh, I can taste one of those Soho burgers.

In flying, you always have an alternate field picked out in case where you intended to land was fogged in or stormy.

If Rossi's was fogged in were were sure to touch down at Soho.

There was one other place that tried to give Rossi's a run for their money with a big burger and I can't remember the name but they were not too far. They were bigger but not better.

Ah, the choices and the pain but somehow we survived.
