Currently On Exhibit in Lileks, James' Matchbook Museum

I'll bet this one of the first matchbooks I collected, and dates from my time working the Pizza Huts in Fargo and St. Louis Park.
They were incredibly popular when they moved into the market, because . . . oh, I don't know. Maybe the crust was softer and puffier. Fargo pizza in its original form was cracker-crust thin. These places just laid waste to the mom-and-pop stores. I enjoyed being a Pizza Hut waiter. Had a uniform; got tips; had purpose; ate pizza. Taught me everything I knew about the trade, and I would take it to the Valli in 1978. LILEKS (James) :: Matchbooks
