I used to eat at Generous George's on occasion. The food wasn't mind blowing, but sometimes a Georgie Combo was just what I wanted. "Positive pizza" was the slogan and I thought the place did have a fun, positive vibe. I'd see George in there fairly often until maybe 2000 or so, when I heard he moved -- to Florida, I think. I heard that he's had some serious health issues recently. I always admired his success in building that business. Wish I could thank him for the good memories I have of that place. It's been sad to drive by, particularly at night, and see it empty and dark. The exterior now has huge signs in the windows advertising the coming of the new restaurant. I'll probably give it a try, but it won't be the same experience.
