I don't think they were cutting corners voluntarily honestly. Their staffing dropped like crazy. I would ritually order Tillys delivery with my family during the lockdown and in the autumn there were a few times there where somebody who seemed like they were a manager showed up in a commercial plate car with a livery to drop it off.

They were always super good about allergies and delivery speed, but it became clear they were short on delivery and kitchen staff. Them opening the chicken spot and the PVD location was probably something they'd effectively locked themselves into before COVID. It takes time to set up and open a restaurant after all.

Sometimes good businesses fail. I remember as a teenager there was one sandwich place I'd go to in Warwick who used super fresh ingredients and homemade a lot of their stuff. Pricey, but damn it was worth it. It was a mom-and-pop deal. They lasted like 2 years.

For clarity because at least for me, there’s a paywall…

> Former state Housing Secretary Josh Saal, who resigned under political pressure last month

> But he was criticized by top lawmakers for moving too slowly to put $250 million in budgeted federal funds for housing programs into action and for missing administrative deadlines.

> McKee announced Saal's resignation Jan. 11, less than a year after he was hired.

> Saal, who made $174,565 last year and $22,014 in January, will also receive $5,614 in unused vacation time, and the state will pay for his health insurance for three months

> The consulting contract provides Saal a minimum of 20 hours of work per week, meaning that by April 25 he would make at least $27,000 under the deal. The contract does not include a maximum of hours he can work, but sources familiar with the Housing Department indicated he was not expected to work full time over the three month period. If he did and worked 40 hours per week, he would receive more than $54,000 over three months.

I lived in south Philly for a few years and I guess the best here would be Sax's. Westcott house in west warwick had a decent one but the owner couldn't pay his taxes. The rhyme wasn't really planned.
