Mack: When I was an altar boy we use to visit this store when the priest was blessing the homes after Christmas. The priest from St. Hedwig's blessed his store and we always received a treat.

Joe, that has to be the other Pietras store.

The one on Heil and Indiana was run by Joe and Matt and Matt was always running off with things for "the other store".

All of the other stores were "outside the ropes" during recess but Pietras was in bounds and the line for the penny candy was something.
