As a marketer I can only imagine two possibilities. 1) It was Frank's nickname growing up cooking in his grandma's kitchen.

But I think the neighborhood would have benefitted from a fishmonger, its too bad CB3 is so polarizing that they cannot understand a business that might have a liquor liscence and not contribute to "hell". 7-11 the Fer up, to paraphrase Moss, but it seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face. I need to find a new blog, I get bummed out when I hear about cool places that might have been, better to just not know.Hey19noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22745105056982744402010-06-23T01:53:20.744-04:002010-06-23T01:53:20.744-04:00I'm sure our neighborhood will be far better o...I'm sure our neighborhood will be far better off with a soulless new 7-Eleven.
