A crossroads of pastrami

The corner of 7th and Alvarado has a new name -- a recognition of what many consider the best pastrami on rye in L.A.:

In honor of the late founder of Langer’s Delicatessen, the Los Angeles City Council agreed today that the intersection outside the famous eatery will be called "Langer’s Square." Langer’s Delicatessen opened 60 years ago at Seventh and Alvarado streets near MacArthur Park and became well-known for its pastrami sandwiches. Al Langer died June 24 at the age of 94. "When you look at how it is that our great diversity adds up to creating a metropolis like we have, it is because of the heroes that we have like Mr. Langer, who was able to sustain cycles of evolvement, both good and bad, and after many decades, still be present on that ... intersection," said Councilman Ed Reyes.

what, no comments? Is everyone stuck in traffic? Langer's has the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. Including New York, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago... Maybe "no comments" is a good sign - nothing to argue about here.
