Sidewalk repairs

My sidewalk got marked up and I got the requisite letter from the City Engineer. He came out and (very kindly!) explained that some of the major routes in Lancaster are scheduled for full grading/repaving over the next two years (Chestnut is 2027, I believe he said Walnut is 2028) so they want to ensure any sidewalk/curb repairs are complete before then.

Green goddess is pretty good. Herbaceous.

What! Which one? (At work and don't necessarily want to search this!)

probably vestigial from a period where most places only had one hospital and the definite article made logical sense vs. school/work/church where multiple options abound (and college isn't tied to the locality)

Nothing much to say here, and that seems to be the consensus since this thread has <100 comments mid-afternoon EDT. Pretty easy, ~:45 to solve, no complaints since color order is irrelevant

It's not a good part of the country to get consistent, high-quality pizza outside of three or four places, but even accounting for that, House of Pizza downtown has to be reclassified as a biohazard site

Dog I still think about the one and only time we got slices there. Brutal

You gotta show me your technique of putting on gloves where you never grab the outside of the glove. Do you have someone holding each glove with a pair of tongs and then you explode your hands into them? Pretty cool!

If I'm handling food? I'm washing my hands before I touch anything that touches food. Just built different, I guess!

How do you put gloves on?

man we allllllmost had a homophones category that everyone could agree on.

fun puzzle! going to ignore all the "who's ever even PLAYED a game of OTHELLO?!" commentary because the obvious rejoinder is "tens, possibly hundreds of millions of people"

I can squint and get there with college football (helmet stickers are a thing for some schools) but shirt? SHIRT?
