^^^^^^^^^^^?!

Sadly, I can confirm this to be true. I have not had a good bagel since 
moving away from Brooklyn in 1993 and the New York "style" pizza in Miami 
is -- like most things down here -- all style and no substance. Grits 
fortunately have been largely driven underground by us transplanted 
Northerners who appreciate the finer things in life -- like *visibility* 
when we go wreck diving. When I get homesick for diving off of New York 
and New Jersey, I just take a marker and black out my mask.

Best regards --

Bill
