Velour and Tweed

Alright, why “Chuck Wagon in the Alley”? That sounds stupid and it’s difficult to say.

Well there is what I think is a good reason for this. Back in the 70’s my father was a Private Investigator, and he has got some pretty great stories, on of which has to do with Canteen Lunch in the Alley. I won’t retell his story now except for it started the same way; someone called him up, asked if he’d heard of “Canteen in the Alley”, and requested a sandwich be delivered to him from there. Which was a difficult task considering my father was two states from it. His story is not nearly as action packed as this one is, but I wanted to pay him homage by starting the same way, but switching up the name seemed appropriate.

If you are near Ottumwa, Iowa stop by Canteen Lunch in the Alley, if you can.
You can get a sandwich for me.
