I know at least one designer down there who makes a damn fine pumpkin cookie.

Did St. Pete ever go to a smaller web?

 

In my opinion a cookie cannot be damn-fine unless it has some form of chocolate in it - but I haven't tried the pumpkin cookies.

(We're at 48" web now.)

 

Wait a second ... pumpkin cookies? Resume time.

 

Did St. Pete ever finish filling its last sports opening?

 

This gets the 1HPGrad seal of approval. PM for more details.
