The Setting:
A long, grey, concrete building with a large red and white vintage-style sign atop it saying “Dine-In East Side Pizzeria”. Along the street edge of the building are 8 square windows lined with bold, red, banners that read “malts”, “salad”, “pizza” etc. To the side there is an entryway just a few concrete steps up along a black chipped handrail. Behind the double glass door entryway is a service counter, a long line of booths along the front windows for diners to eat, and countless souvenirs above the entry door.
Synopsis:
After an eventful walk through the eastside, this is a much kneaded happy ending.
