Ten years ago I won my war against the entire population of squirrels living in my High Park neighborhood of Toronto with hot sauce, water and a spray bottle. :)

Pastabilities was our favorite restaurant when we lived in Syracuse, even before it was in that location. When it moved into the Armory, we were actually supposed to live upstairs from it as urban pioneers in what was then a very gritty neighborhood, but the renovations didn't get done in time and we had to find another location.
Some time ago they contacted me to use some of my pre-renovation pictures of the building they're in (the Labor Temple), so if you saw them up on the walls they could have been mine.
