[Hidden-tech] lunch in Westfield or Southwick?

[Edbride-PR]

On the other hand, in the town where I lived many years ago, the Catholic 
church (St. Mary's) has a big Italian festival every summer, and it is 
called St. Rocco's Fair. In a church that is besieged by stereotypes, "St. 
Rocco" doesn't seem to bother them.
