Avondale is a great neighborhood but I’ve never found a great pizza spot here. Live close to Di Vita’s on Belmont but it’s pretty average. Pauli Gees in Logan is great but I’m looking for a place that’s lazily walkable in Avondale.

Im open to recommendations in all styles, but some of my local favorites are: Crushed on Montrose, Spacca Napoli, Coalfire, the aforementioned PaulI gees, Marie’s (the spot next to the liquor store), Vito and nicks, Jimmy’s. I also love the NYC nonna style which is hard to find here.

appreciate the tips

Bit of an niche question but here's what I mean. You know how on a mollagabets type bow the limb ends fade into "fin" structures to add stiffness while keeping the weight down. Could you make that exact shape, but with a glued on piece of wood, faded down to fit, and have it perform the same as a solid limb that's carved to shape?

I have this idea for a fantasy style bow - often in fantasy art the limb tips have a kind of triangular flare that touches the string for a few inches and fills in the space between the limb tip and the bow. It would be good real estate for carving or other decoration. To make it more functional you could do it narrow and deep, mollagabets style, and just extend the flares a little bit. What do you guys think

And also, with porous woods like red oak, do you just accept that there will be rough parts where the porous layers surface, or is there a way to deal with them?

I love Stavvy's Dundalk / Baltimore / Glen Byrnie?? accent. That trashy character always makes me laugh big time especially because it's his go-to "stupid guy" voice. If only one day I can visit God's country, Maryland, and experience thh dulcet tones of Dundalk guy for myself.

Is anyone here lucky enough to live in the blessed state of Maryland, and do people there really sound like that?
