Schrafft’s

Posted on by Nichole S.

My boys have long since gotten over seeing their “name in lights” while driving in/out of Boston. Looking for the big pink letters that spell out “Schrafft’s” used to be a game we played when off on adventures. As they grew older they were more impressed that they have lineage in the Candy Business than seeing their name. Go figure.

Thanks to Paul Horovitz for snapping this photo upon stumbling upon this great wooden box!

I think people should re-evaluate their airline rankings in regard to American and Spirit

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I’m not sure where American gets off considering itself a premium airline. Planes are ancient. They charge for baggage. We got no food service. Delays.

At least Spirit you generally get cheaper flights.

I think American sucks.

All the people that fly Spirit and have a delay forget that Jet Blue and American have delays as well only you pay way more.

Jet Blue at least they have TVs and WiFi free.

There’s no reason to pay more to fly American if your only options are Spirit and American.

I’d pay more to fly Jet Blue but not American.

And before anyone starts in saying that Spirit nickle and dimes you-

Spirit starts off with a super low fare and you pay ala cart for what you want 99 percent of the times you can still fly cheaper on Spirit plus the upgrades than flying American.

F American.
