The notable exception is from established venues in traditional markets — and these are not really stalls, and more like Limited hour restaurants.

An Open Letter To My Students

Update: all right we got some turbulence. It no longer scares me AS YOU ALREADY KNOW IF YOU READ MY NEWSLETTER RELIGIOUSLY but I'm getting planesick looking at my phone. I'll do another one of these soon and will circle back later to see if…
