There's a strict "no outside food" policy, and he's open about the fact that the food sales help keep the business open."

No car news - everything is running fine!
Below is a photograph of my lovely daughter just before we left home for the 1950s Sock Hop at her preschool. The event was fun for the kids and the adults... and our Champion was the guest star and perfect background for all of the family photographs.
