In fact, I met the whole family- the Francis and Scarpellinos- just after I moved up here.<BR/><BR/>Only problem with Babetta's, is its a bit too "high class" for me to hang out at. I liked the old wooden benches at Tom's.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, old timers here might remember Sabrina's Restaurant, across from the Eureka Theater on F street. I worked there for three years or so after I first moved here. That's where I met Babs, Stan, Sabrina and the rest.<BR/><BR/>Babetta's was originally planned for the old Sabrinas place, but the deal fell through and they ended up where Tom's used to be.Fred Mangelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746646487480850444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-1156885011123044742006-08-29T13:56:00.000-07:002006-08-29T13:56:00.000-07:00Verlas from the mid 60s to the mid 70s.

Good that there's SOME substitute. It will never be the same, though.<BR/><BR/>Life sucks: It has it's good times and bad times.Fred Mangelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746646487480850444noreply@blogger.com
