angel and manny, two veteran electricians, came in early in the morning and worked into the evening to hook up the electrical components of my walk-in. i spent the day working on my computer in the dining room while they wired the walk-in to the electrical panel. i've lived near freeways or on busy streets all my life, so i wasn't surprised that i was able to do my work amidst the drilling and sawing and nailing. in fact, the sound of industry, peppered with angel and manny's frequent laughter, was quite comforting. i worked away at my calculations and projections, blissfully unaware of the reason for my sense of well-being. it was only after i looked at this picture of the two of them that i realized why i felt so carefree and content all day: they reminded me of my grandpa!

Very sweet. Thanks for making me think of my beloved grandpa!
I live in Highland Park mere blocks from Good Girl Dinette. Many of us who live here are extremely excited about your new place and that you chose Highland Park as the new home for your restaurant. We need delicious places to eat! We want yummy food close by. I speak for a lot of Highland Parkers -- thank you for supporting our community!
i haven't even met you but Clayton told his corner of the world about you so now I am very happy for you. Hope to be there soon.
