As always, it's worth going through great lengths to get a photo of that building if it means getting mentioned by the AOA Neighborhood. Much thanks, Greg and Mary!

As an aside, because a couple people have asked, I used the term "butter hard roll" instead of "buttered hard roll" on purpose. It is a peculiarity of speech that I kind of enjoy. Using simply the noun of the item on the roll is common, e.g. "sausage hard roll," "bacon hard roll," and "butter hard roll."
