DII is a chintzy discount store…one on 5th Ave and 9th Street, another on 5th Ave in the 50’s in Sunset Park, and another down in Bay Ridge. Used to be called Dee & Dee.

I’m also a member of the American Chestnut foundation.

“We get Port from Portugal”
And Port and gals! Wonderful combination.
“And almost all of the corks in the world”
Then what the hell are we getting from County Cork, Ireland?
