Long ago, when I was a child, there was an excellent pizza restaurant in the nearby town. Food was great, but it was kind of run-down and not advertised at all; sometimes it would be inexplicably closed for a week, sometimes not. One very hot summer, when we did not want to be cooking in the kitchen without AC, we had pizza for dinner one night. The next night it was even hotter, so we did the extraordinary thing (for my family) of having takeout two nights in a row. Well, when dad got to the pizza place to order a pizza, he discovered that it had been converted into a coin-op laundromat, literally overnight. Moral: mob front businesses are weird; enjoy the surprisingly cheap pizza while it lasts!
