Posted by Foobooz on August 18th, 2006
A blind item. If you’ve ever read Page Six of the New York Post, and admit it you have, you’re familiar with the concept. A tantalizing bit of gossip about a celebrity but with the name withheld. In restaurants and bars, these blind items come from the For Sale pages.
This may be easier than our first blind item. Today we feature a Gelataria for sale in a historic Philadelphia neighborhood.

Err make that Cafe Toscano. It would be a shame if it closes, the gelato served there is very good.
