So in all of my wandering through old shit on the internet, I find some cute old (public domain) shit that I just want to put on a t-shirt or a mug or whatever, and so I have a shop where I do that. And I'm bored, so all the shirts are 25% from now til Halloween. Spooky! www.etsy.com/shop/DamesAn...

Okay, gang, it’s 1946 and Bette Davis has just finished A Stolen Life in the midst of moving to Glendale, so she’s understandingly tired and needs a good local restaurant and Donnelly’s fits the bill. She’s treating so what are we having?
