Another Unfortunate Sign Of The Times
The Original Marie Callender's Restaurant Has Closed Its Doors After 52 Years
Since 1998, the family restaurant chain has diminished from 156
Southern California restaurants to just 61 at the present. Thankfully
for those who grew up on Marie Callender pies, there are still locations
in Mar Vista, Northridge, Sherman Oaks, West LA, and Redondo Beach, to
name a few.

Marie Callender's very first coffee and pie shop in the city of Orange turned its lights off for the last time, according to the OC Register. Marie Callender's son, Don, opened
this location on Tustin Street in 1964 and now a sign on the door
states that the restaurant has closed due to "the end of our lease." The
note also detailed: "Thank you for all the love and support. We are
very thankful to have shared many meals (& pies), holidays and
memories with you."

I Agree
Audi Got Lazy
[T]he worst offender, by far, is the new A4. Under the skin, the new A4 is totally changed: new features, new interior, updated engine, blah blah blah. I saw a “new” 2017 A4 in my parking garage the other day, and do you know how I could be absolutely sure it was the latest model? Because I looked inside and I saw the gear lever. This is a problem.
Not only am I a professional automotive journalist who has been pantslessly reporting on the car industry for five years now, but I am also a former Audi A4 owner! And I had to check the gear lever to figure out whether I was looking at last year’s A4 or the “all-new,” “totally redesigned,” “completely revamped,” “fully reengineered” 2017 model.
