More thin crust please!

I posted here at The Bent Page several times with regard to Jules Thin Crust pizza of Doylestown, PA, USA. Well, here goes again. Stopped in there recently to find the quality as good as ever. Take a look at the long view of options.

Lots of options there. We whittled it down to four. Here they are.

Above on the left you have sausage, onions, and basil. On the right you see a tomato pie with extra garlic. Here are two more.

The left side has spinach and ricotta, the right is soybean and caramelized onions. All great choices on the thin crust that has more flavor than you would expect. Ingredients are organic; service is excellent.

Doylestown is a great place to visit for the shops, the colonial buildings, and to have a great slice of pizza. Enjoy it all.

Take Your Pick…

… of the best burgers in the USA, bar none!. This is no exaggeration, because I’ve tried burgers all over the country and the world. The Classic Diner in Malvern, PA, serves them up exactly as ordered and here’s the photo to prove it.

The one in the lower left is topped with pepper jack cheese and fried onions. The one in the upper center is cheddar and sauteed mushrooms. Dig those onion rings, too! Man oh man, what meal! The flavor is akin to a delmonico steak brought back to life in the form of the burger. Never greasy, always juicy, you can count on the Classic Diner to deliver when your burger jones just has to be satisfied, which for me is about once every six weeks or so. I can’t hold out any longer than that. Add an ice-cold Coca-Cola and your set for the rest of the day, or a good nap.

Construction Continues…

…at the World Trade Center site in New York City. Where once stood the iconic Twin Towers, you’ll currently find a number of cranes hoisting steel and concrete into the air again. Take a look.

Doesn’t look like much, but there is plenty of subterranean infrastructure that is out of sight. Don’t forget, there are subway lines running through here as well as sewer, water, electrical and other utilities that all of have to connect properly. The next image is of the rising tower on the west corner of the site.

I anxiously await the completion of this entire project. Years ago, I used to enjoy taking visitors to the top of the Twin Towers for a look out over the city and beyond. Hopefully there will be an observation platform on one of these new buildings to afford the same view. Can’t wait.

A Cross

While in New York City recently, I paid a visit to the World Trade Center site. There I came upon the famous cross, constructed of the steel beams that were once part of the Twin Towers. Here’s a view of the cross.

I remember arriving at the site six days after the fateful events of September 11, 2001. It wasn’t a pretty scene. Using a Hasselblad 6X6 camera, I took a number of documentary photographs that I keep archived in a secure place. Some weeks later, I returned for more photo taking, including piles of steel beams that were cut into pieces for scrap iron. Sad to see them twisted and mangled. Here’s a close up of the plaque on the cross.

Soon it will be ten years since the tragedy occurred. I’ll never forget that scene. Neither should you. At least one of the key personnel who concocted the nefarious act now has a special place in the deep blue sea, which just goes to prove my old adage: The woods may be lovely dark and deep, but from the ocean comes not a peep.
