I forgot Brett Schundler. Too much post-dinner Grappa tonight.
Ha! That grappa will do that to you!
Those Shundler years where the years Chill-town got turned around and real estate and charter schools were built up without the graft.
And as for “Jersey Shore”, there were plenty of guidos from Lodi and environs down in Seaside during my prime time there. And occasionally those guidettes would cause controversy by getting into an inter-ethnic relationship with an Irish guy!
My mother always said it was ok as long as her family had Irish music at the wedding! lol!
