The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them,” V.I. Lenin famously boasted. Nineteen years after the collapse of the Soviet empire Wall Street seems to be doing what Communism couldn’t, threading its own neck through the noose.

The Martin Street Pizza Meltdown
A good chef is a currency known to make or break a joint in this town. And it isn’t unusual that the restaurants in Raleigh that succeed have menus that have been intelligently designed by smart professionals. That’s one reason Martin Street Pizza was so exciting. Daniel Taylor had created what looked to be another hit. Formerly of the Underground, Taylor was able to make both restaurant’s menus reflect three tenants: simple, local, and delicious.

Mr. Prueny on 07/23 about North Carolina Central Prison Expansion: Mental Health Hospital and Medical Center
I like living next to the prison. Several reasons why. First, they keep to themselves and don’t meddle in my affairs. They boast a well kept lawn. If you listen, the loudspeaker role-call will let you know is’s time for bed. They attract international tourism with the occaisional execution. It’s easy to get in but difficult to leave (unlike my gatherings). Now it looks like it will be a place of health (executioner in check). Can I go when I feel ill, and will my homeowners insurance drop?

Maybe I’m crazy, but while it *seems* like I might learn something from an article like this, a touch less hysteria might make it go down smoother. Click.

Kinda sad, I was looking forward to checking this joint out.

I’m so sick of these d-bags messing up every single place I like. I miss old Alibi. Last time I poked my head in there, I think Fred Durst was tending bar. Props to my homey Nickie the B!
And I’m guessing that the chicken-topped pizza slice I had there was post-Taylor, seeing as how it tasted like they boiled pieces of chicken and then dropped them on top. The rosemary sorbet was good, though.
While it’s true that there are lots of pizza places, the thing this one offers that few others do is pizza-by-the-slice all day. When you like pepperoni, onion and green pepper and your best friend likes mandarin oranges and pineapples, that makes a difference. Plus, no leftovers to worry about lugging around when you want to go out after. I mean, would you really want to eat your leftovers after they sat on the bar at Slim’s for a few hours? I mean that as a compliment, Slim’s.karen. on 07/23 about The Martin Street Pizza Meltdown
“it is said that bender would...” but has it been confirmed? or is the validity of that statement up in the air, like taylor’s reasons for leaving? don’t you people ever talk to real sources?
