Regarding pizza steaks, Bo Narcross can't remember ever seeing them anyplace other than Blake's Coffee Shop. So, does this mean we have had in our collective midst Blake's Coffee Shop, the Home of the Pizza Steak?

UPDATE: The person asking already knows about Blake's Coffee Shop. Any other ideas? I received an email from a gal who loves pizza steak sandwiches. She'd like to know where the best such offerings can be found in this area.

How about some input here? 3/9/10 Sponsored by Magic Waters Theatre.

I just learned that Verizon has a cellular site in Greenfield and their cell phone service is now available. The same source also said that Verizon was soon to begin construction of a new tower on Beechwood Rd. just north of Rocky Fork Lake. Maybe some competition will bring down the cost and make G3 broadband Internet available to more people. 3/8/10 Sponsored by Stewart's Pharmacy.
