Papa John's Pizza

Previously I ragged on Papa John's, a bit, for not bothering to install a proper sign before firing up the oven.

Since then the pizza maker has spiffed up its appearance — compare my photo of the just-opened store (below) — though the outline of "All Boro" still peeks out above "Papa." Note, too, that its neighbor J.J. Grand Bagels has gone cold and dark.

If you like looking at old mechanical things, here's a virtual typewriter museum and some background on one particular pizza-oven-sized calculator.
