Since it was Saturday night, I expected the place to be swamped by teenagers, but I was surprised by the range of folks there enjoying a night out. The booths were all black vinyl, the carpeting an industrial gray, and the walls painted an audacious red. Vintage music from the jukebox barely made a dent in the clatter of conversations. Bill Haley and the Comets were rocking around the clock one minute, then Patsy Cline was belting out \u201cCrazy\u201d the next. The smells coming from the kitchen were no doubt part of the reason for the place\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n

It was worth the trip even if you didn\u2019t eat anything, just to catch a whiff of that aroma. Heather guided me to one of the only open booths, a spot far away from the jukebox, and said, \u201cWait right here. I\u2019ll be back in a second.\u201d She took three steps, paused, then yelled back, \u201cWhat do you like on your pizza?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou decide. I\u2019ll eat just about anything.\u201d Heather nodded, then came back a few minutes later after fighting through the crowd to place our order. \u201cSo what are we having?\u201d I asked. \u201cI ordered us a garbage pizza.\u201d I smiled gently. \u201cThis place might be doing great, but they should probably work on the names of their specials.\u201d Heather laughed, showing dimples I hadn\u2019t seen before. \u201cOkay, they call it the Heaven Scent, but it\u2019s got everything on it they don\u2019t throw away, so I call it a garbage pizza.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t sound very appetizing, does it?\u201d \u201cAre you kidding me? I can\u2019t wait.\u201d The music in the background shifted to an old Frank Sinatra tune, and I said, \u201cThe musical tastes around here are eclectic, aren\u2019t they?\u201d Heather said, \u201cYou can request a new record for the jukebox with every tenth pizza you buy. There are only a couple of conditions, but they\u2019re written in stone. Your pick has to be from the \u201850s or \u201860s, that\u2019s the only music the owner, April May, really likes, and if you don\u2019t renew it every two months, the song gets pulled if it hasn\u2019t fallen out of the rotation by then.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease tell me you\u2019re kidding.\u201d Heather said, \u201cIt\u2019s the truth. I had The Purple People Eaters on last month.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not talking about the music. Are you telling me the woman who owns this place is really named April May?\u201d Heather grinned and waved to an older woman standing behind the counter with an easy smile and flaming red hair. She had on an apron that said, \u201cKiss your Momma\u201d and was sporting a pair of green bibbed overalls underneath it. \u201cWhat can I get you, love?\u201d<\/p>\n

she said to Heather as the crowd parted for her when she walked toward us. \u201cApril, I\u2019d like you to meet Harrison. Black.<\/p>\n
