- Did you roll coal? Sounds like something you'd do. What that guy did was definitely wrong, but a lot of you seem unaware of how annoying and disrespectful that is. There are many diesels that aren't obnoxious

5. Coney Island Westfort
Original English title:Westfort Coney Island
Post summary:Ate at Coney Island in Westfort during the street fair last year and really enjoyed it. We went back today and it was disappointing. Everything we had was bland.

The fries had zero salt (yes, we added some, but it still didn't taste right). I wonder if the owner or regular cook is on Holi
