PanDan Room (Vacation Schedule)
Called to order take-out about an hour ago at 1ish. No answer, mailbox full. Husband stopped by - door locked; dark inside. No notice on door for vacation, etc. Do any of you H'lifers know if they are closed today or on vacation or closed forever? Thanks.

Foul Burning Smell
Anyone else notice a foul burning smell in the Hackettstown- Independence area. I noticed it a few nights ago and it’s quite strong tonight. Any thoughts as to the cause?

Found some older Hackettstown Photos
Found these by accident while looking at photos from old NY. Seems the photographer took many photos around NJ towns. Mid 70s- early 80s.

Cafe 57 Washington
I passed this place all the time and never realized it was there. It is a hidden gem...legit homemade baked goods - crumb cake, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, eclairs, macarons, cannolis...it all depends on the day, since it's new every morning. And the flavors and combinations change too.
Their subs and sandwiches are FILLED so those of you who were complaining about skimpy subs might be pleased. And although I haven't tried their breakfasts, their photos look pretty yummy.
They show specials each day on their page. And take great photos so you can see what I'm talking about.
Highly recommend.

T mobile 55 and older plan or Verizon
My sister and I are on a shared Verizon plan. We have pretty basic stuff, no bells or whistles. I get a discount through my job plus we save for going paperless and doing autopay. The bill is $135 total. I just got a mailing from T mobile about a 55 and older plan. It would be $27.50 for two lines. Unlimited, etc. This sounds too good to be true. That, or we are getting severely ripped off with Verizon. Does anyone have this plan with T mobile?

Professional Cleaner for Leather Handbag
I searched the Forum, and couldn’t find this particular subject posted. Can anyone recommend, (and has had it done) a local Cleaner that specifically will clean staining from a leather handbag? I would rather not do it myself as it is very special to me, but in dire need of cleaning.
