At the time there was what purported to be a "Southern food" diner kind of place. (This would not have been my choice of places to eat - never understand going to somewhere and eating the food that comes from where you live.) Anyway. I asked for Coke, they said they had Pepsi. I said, well then, have you got sweet tea? No sweet tea. I almost walked out. Don't call yourself "Southern" if you don't have Coca-Cola or sweet iced tea.Wattsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-29947942160345398802014-09-19T16:18:52.065-04:002014-09-19T16:18:52.065-04:00Even without the Sendak stuff, the Rosenbach colle...Even without the Sendak stuff, the Rosenbach collection is impressive.
