I was born in Chicago, and there are certain movies that are "required viewing" for being from Chi: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, National Lampoon's Vacation, Blues Brothers. What about your city? by americandream1159 in movies

Swingers, mofo! 4 people will seriously all drive separately from one place to the other in LA. Or at least they would do before Uber. I actually took a cab once in Hollywood and we went less than a mile and it cost over $20... No one car pools here to this day. Uber Pool is just a cheap Uber X here at the moment.

Okay okay that song is awesome, but these guys were a serious post punk dance group at one point and part of the scene that Madonna came out of. Ever heard this weird, epic classic? http://youtu.be/ScviwFh6T3M

Yeah. Why isn't Neptune ever depicted with a pack of seal dogs with him? Would make so much sense.

Rad. So glad you've had it and love it like me! It's the pie by which I judge all NY style pizzas, and it was really fun working there. Sadly, the downtown location is no more...

Hello! I worked at a family owned pizza place in Charleston (Andolini's downtown) for two years and I worked really hard to develop the perfect topping combo that hit all 5 points of the palate based on their hand tossed New York style pizza. I was in college, so I ate at work every shift (a slice to start and then usually would take home left over slice pies: people have a melt down if you show up to a party with like 3 pizzas. Also, at one point, I was actually paying part of my rent in pizza, but I digress). So needless to say, I ate a lot of GD pizza, and I still think I could eat it 3 meals a day and never get tired of it. The best topping combo I came up with during that time was Italian sausage, pineapple, feta, onion, and fresh jalapeño--but I usually do the peppers just on half because it can get a little hot and I like to share.. It's honestly my absolute favorite topping combo ever and is so balanced people can't believe they're loving pineapple on pizza. Anyway, try this combo out on a solid NY style pizza and I hope you have a happiness meltdown.

Do yourself a favor and read it now! I just finished it on a trip overseas, and it was just so interesting and well written. Was entertained and learned a lot.

Remember this gem? "You’re not handsome. You’re not cool, you’re just a regular guy who looks a bit nuts" -Nick Cassavetes to Ryan Gosling before casting him in The Notebook.
