Here is the question at the end of The Slice column in this coming Sunday's newspaper:

Is there a local business with a permanent place on your radar because it opened right after you moved here?

For me, it's Luigi's restaurant downtown. Though, to be honest, I can't say for sure whether it opened right after or just before I got here in March of 1988.

Just swapped cordial email/phone messages with that eatery's owner the other day.

Of course, one certain response to that question will be from readers reminding me that not everyone here is a transplant.

Noted.
