Letter to the Editor – Thank You – J. Falco

In December of 2006 my wife Tressy and I received a call from my cousin Anthony asking if I would like to meet with a nice couple named Dave and Megan Quillinan who were interested in opening a deli in the former Sal’s Place. They were looking for business partners and he thought we might be a good fit. It had been a dream of mine to open my own business for a long time and so we decided to meet. We hit it off right away. It was as if it we were meant to be partners. We talked for hours about what we wanted the business to be and we were on the same page. With my strength in the front of house and Dave’s strength of being an awesome executive chef we decided to give it our best shot.

A Thank You To the Community From Faldoni’s – By Sandy McBride

As a writer for the Express these past six and a half years, I have had the privilege and pleasure of writing about many of the good things done by the many good people who call our small-town world their home.  But we’re not isolated nor insulated from the world around us, and sometimes bad things happen to our good people.  It’s what happens after the bad things happen that brings to the forefront just how much it means to be part of a small community that cares.

On Easter Sunday, Faldoni’s Delicatessen at the corner of Park and Central Avenues closed up shop after a successful holiday weekend providing their always excellent fare to their many loyal customers. The staff went home to enjoy the remainder of the holiday with their own families
