In fact, Larry’s goal is to provide customers with a good meal at a reasonable price, with time to make it back to work before breaktime ends. |

Football season is winding down; the holidays are over; and it’s cold outside. With little else to do, video games are big right now, especially considering the new Play Station 3 and Nintendo Wii that hit stores just before Thanksgiving. Gaming is especially popular among men of my generation (men in their 20s and 30s), and many can be found flocking to stores and waiting in line for hours to get the newest systems. In 2005, people lined up to buy Xbox 360s. In 2006, they waited for Play Station 3s and Nintendo Wiis. According to my boyfriend, Matt, gamers have done this for years—every time a new system has come out. |

The start of the holiday season means cleaning the house and getting everything ready for parties, company and family gatherings. But don’t forget about your pets in all the holiday hustle and bustle. According to Irene Gonzalez, owner of Groomingdale’s fine grooming salon and pet boutique in Mathew’s Center on Cardinal Road, Christmas is the busiest time of year for pet grooming, and Thanksgiving is second. When company comes, pets seem to think that everyone is there to see them, so they want to look their best. |
