All Over But The Shouting

"This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end"
- The Doors
"The End"

I kind of hate using Doors lyrics in my last post, but sometimes
'lil Jimmy Morrison has the exact words for the occasion.

As of right fuckin' now, The Streets of Pizza, the blog, is over.

Done.

Fini.

I just don't have the time or energy to keep it up any longer.
"Take this blog and shove it"?
No, not really. I've had a great experience writing this thing.
The feedback has been wonderful and it's good knowing that
there's some people out there rooting for the 'ol Pizzaman.

I might drop something in the future on my myspace page,
but don't hold your breath.
However, I will let you know when they fire my ass.

So, in this last entry, I'd like to thank some people who made
this blog what it is (or was):

I'd like to thank all my readers, all the letter writers, the
myspace friends, the Pizzalovers (Hell, even the bad
customers - they provided some good stories) and all the
big tippers (especially the big tippers).

I'd like to thank everyone at City Pages (past and present)
for their support and bandwidth.

But most of all, I'd like to thank CP's Online Managing
Editor Corey Anderson. Corey has put up with my bullshit
for a long time now. All my whining, poor formatting, lame
questions and my computer illiteracy.
He's been my number one supporter/cheerleader/hand-holder
through this whole damn thing.
Corey, thanks dude.

So, with that, I'm off to The Streets to deliver the
Hot & Fresh to the Pizzalovers.

Remember, tip well and don't be an asshole.

stay gold,

-The Pizzaman

"So you have another drink
and get down on your knees
You been swearing to God
now maybe if you'd ask
That this one be your last
Cause this one child, is killing you
This one's your last chance
To make this last one really the last"
