"This town, Boston, has great bakeries and, with the highest per-capita ice cream consumption in America, the best frozen stuff in the world outside of Florence, Italy, in my opinion."This town, Phoenix, has no great bakeries and the local chain Cold Stone Creamery sure ain't my idea of good ice cream.
"Fish
Fish trades for $4.99 to 14.99/lb. over the counter. Beyond that retail level are two amazingly-higher specialist price points: domestic sashimi and Japanese sashimi. Sashimi: raw fish in your dinner pail. Veteran buyers haunt local piers seeking primo catch, which on the table here can fetch $50/lb., in Tokyo $50/oz."
Until the lyrics in that Steely Dan song come true, I wouldn't dream of ordering seafood in the desert !!!
When your article is viewed in this light I hope you understand and sympathize when I say:
This column of yours really sucked. :>)
