Growing up I was extremely poor. At 11 I went business to business in our area looking for a job as I needed shoes. A couple who owns a pizza place “hired” me to scrape pizza pans 3 days a week. When I got there they had a fresh slice of pizza and a cold coke. As a starving child that was priceless. By the end of the summer I had “earned” enough to buy a pair of converse. Looking back I see what these beautiful people did and how lucky I was to meet them.
We got a pizza place here in Philly. You grab a thumb tack and put a dollar on the wall. If someone can’t afford a $1 slice, they can take a dollar off the wall and pay for it. Whenever I’m in the area I always make an effort to stop by and grab a few slices and a drink.
Edit : wow just went to post the location and it looks like they closed last year, damn. It was called Rosas Fresh Pizza.
