"THE BEST"
On my last day in Milan, we met this man who was showing a newspaper clipping about his barbershop which was called "The Best". It opened in 1936 and closed earlier that day (April 30, 2009).
Yes and no. Although never intended to be The End, a closing post was made on March 3, 2014. And since then, the blog exists, in limbo, but never totally dormant. I hope it continues to be a useful resource, nostalgia machine, and/or archive of a particular time. It may not ever be updated or appended or deleted. For now, it just is.
