West Towne's last day in business was yesterday.

Had heard a couple months ago that it was going to be closing. My wife and I had lunch there last weekend and it was pretty evident that they weren't really taking care of it anymore. Was pretty dirty and needed maintenance.

I worked at DaVinci's when I was in school. Garlic cheese rolls with marinara was a money side. The five cheese pizza and cheesesteak sandwiches were memorable too.

Also miss Flying Burrito next to the old Kum & Go on the Sheldon corner. The food wasn't better than it's contemporaries, but the late night hours made it available during the times I was apt to provide very subjective reviews.
