Bag o' the Day

Something VERY awesome,

in terms of vintage pasta advertising:

Giuseppe Garibaldi Brand Macaroni ad

Back in the day, there were a few pasta companies in the Philadelphia area.  The above was one.  Another was Conte Luna, which was in Norristown, PA. Their slogan was 'Reach for the moon.'

The bag can be had here:

Tickets, please

Haven't shown any of my old movie tickets for quite some time.

However today we have...

The Postman 
AKA 
Il Postino

As shown on the ticket I saw this at the Ritz at the Bourse, which I learned two weeks ago from an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, is set to close.

I feel really bad about this, as I saw sooooo many movies there over the years.  The last one I saw there was Love & Mercy.

Probably would have seen more since then, but the hubbage and I fled Philly in 2016 in order to move downashore.
