The original Quintessence. Great omelettes with fresh orange juice in the morning and wonderful spinach noodles with dressing to kill for.

I've been watching the progress of Hoffman's Playland relocation and it's making me nervous. I hope it comes back bigger and better than ever!

I miss Sciortino's Pizzeria next to Wolff's Biergarten. It was a cute hip little diner serving surprisingly tasty Italian food with huge portions for a cheap price. It made for a nice first date and afterwards you could get drinks at the bars next door.

A second cable provider in the city. There has to have been another option at some point, right?

I miss the old downtown parking system of running out of your office every 1.5 hours to move your car five spaces. The meters took all the fun out of the parking game!

I'd *Love* to see a comeback of downtowns without pay-to-park meters. I'm especially looking at you, Troy.

Affordable ice cream cones -- some places charge $4 and up for a cone! Add insult to injury and charge 75 cents for sprinkles!! What's a girl to do?? I guess an ice cream cone is a meal, not a snack :-)

I would like to see clotheslines make a come back. A simple, eco-friendly way to dry clothing that takes people outside. More neighbor interaction? Lower gas or electric bills. Sounds good to me!
