By |2022-05-26T14:23:30+00:00May 26th, 2022|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

  THE ARROYO CAFÉ & MARGARET’S FAMOUS HOMEMADE PIES Knowing very few Spanish words besides “Hasta la vista”, (sometimes with the Anglo word “baby” added), I guessed Arroyo was a Spanish family name which adorned the front face of the café on Speedway Boulevard in Tucson, Arizona.  This was January 1960, my second day in Tucson, [...]

SOCIALISM – MY VERY LIMITED EXPERIENCE & A FEW THOUGHTS   1945 -  The end of World War II, and I turn six years old.  For a kid that age, I was probably a little more aware of WWII than most first graders.  From the surrounding adults, I learned that Communism was bad.  Communism was Russia [...]

BEAN SOUP

By |2018-12-08T15:41:35+00:00December 8th, 2018|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

On my 1960 scooter trip across the US, mid-afternoon somewhere near Manchester, Kentucky, I pulled into the dirt parking lot of a small, well-worn café for a cup of coffee. A six stool counter was the serving area, with two of the stools missing altogether. So it now seated four rather well-dispersed patrons. At that moment [...]
