However, a real gem was missed: one of the best chocolate shops,
Verdun, in the Pearl District. Their chocolates are simply the
best, and I have been fortunate to have had some great French,
Italian, Belgian, and domestic chocolates there.
I enjoy the puzzles in each issue of
American Way, and I am
amused by the writings of
Jim Shahin. I have also benefited from
the recent addition of the music pieces in your
DownLow
section. I read the magazine from cover to cover, and I am always
entertained and educated.
My life of
business travel has slowed down considerably, and soon
my travels will no longer be for work but hopefully for leisure. I
will miss my bimonthly fix of
American Way.

Dear Colleen: We love chocolate. We love it even more
when someone makes us aware of a great place to find good
chocolate. Do you know how happy with you we are right now?
POPPING THE QUESTION
My employers are musicians and fly almost every week to
performances. Every time they fly, they bring home
American
Way for me to enjoy. I read the magazine from cover to cover,
and since I don't travel with the band, I get to "visit" all kinds
of great places through your magazine.
I especially like that you use a white background for the articles,
making it so much easier to read. We also really appreciate the
great service your
airline provides to instrument-carrying
musicians.
As to the issue of office snacks before microwaves, which Sherri
Burns asked about in your September 1 issue, I'm guessing here, but
I bet not many women worked in offices before microwaves. If they
did, they would probably have brought in homemade snacks. The
white-collared male workers would go out to eat, and blue-collared
male workers would bring homemade snacks and lunches from home.
Please keep up the great work on the planes and in
American
Way!
