I did go to that pizza place in Lynnwood because I had heard about how
hostile the owner was. The food was actually good. But he sure didn't want
to serve the white pizza!

When I was a kid/teen, we used to have a place here called Henry's. Nowhere
on the sign did it have that name. That was just the owner's name so we
referred to it as such. In fact I don't think there was a sign at all on
the front but on the side it said something like Sunshine Sundries and Ice
Cream. This guy had a bad reputation. I only went in there once (had been
told not to) only because there was some kind of emergency. Can't remember
what. He was nice then. But he was anything but nice when my dad went in
here.
