City addresses license plate victims' sticker shock

In an effort to be less punitive the city now issues tickets for failing to display registration, which run $17 instead of $50.

There was nothing good about Dick's Pizza
Dick's pizza had terrible food (we gave it more than one chance), they had bad service, TERRIBLE decor.  It was outdated and they had no taste and didn't bother spending any money to improve or modernize.  The lobby entrance was cheezy and so was their window decorations.  Maybe if...
