I think provel has some kind of protracted half-life inside you.

NY style with just the right amount of grease and fresh cheese is what I like the most, but sometimes I snap to, and there's an imo's pizza in front of me. There are other provel based pizzas i eat, though. Doesn't Waldo Pizza have one? If there is any satellite/outpost of provel it is Kansas City! I can think of three places off the top of my head that puts it on food, and I'm sure there are more.

What makes sense is to put LA in the AFC West and move the Chiefs in the South with those teams. But that would breakup longstanding AFL Rivalries with the Broncos and Raiders. So my guess is that they'd put the LA Jaguars in the NFC West and ask the St. Louis Rams to move to the AFC South, which could set up more cross-state Show Me rivalry games.

There's also a place called Monte Bello in inner south county in the basement of someones house that feels like you are in some kind of weird Ohio valley small industrial town and it's by an old steel or coke plant of some kind. It has provel with a corn meal crust...I really really liked it. It could have been another big Imo's chain, please go before it's gone! It's old school to the maximum.

he public agency that manages the Edward Jones Dome today proposed a $124 million overhaul of the 16-year-old facility, while St. Louis city and county officials stressed that no new public money would go to the team without voter approval....

If accepted by the Rams, the CVC plan would:
• Hang a 96-foot wide and 26-foot high scoreboard over midfield that should give fans clear views of replays, scores and stats and not interfere with game play.
• Build a new, three-story structure on Baer Plaza that would be connected to the Dome via a bridge over Broadway. It would include a 20,000 square-foot lobby, a rooftop beer garden and a new entrance for fans headed to Dome's club seats and luxury suites.
• Install large glazed window panels that would allow more natural light inside the Dome, which critics have complained is too dark.
• Replace about 1,800 existing seats and four suites with 1,500 new club seats.
• Put retractable bollards on Broadway that would let CVC shut down the street to vehicle traffic and making it safer for fans to enter and leave the Dome. The CVC said this change also would address NFL concerns that the milling crowds outside of the Dome could be a terrorist target....

Under the plan, the Rams would fund about 52 percent of the improvements. Ratcliffe said that figure wasn't picked at random — it is the average contribution by NFL teams in recent new stadium construction and renovation projects.
The plan doesn't identify the source of the rest of money, nearly $60 million. Ratcliffe indicated that her agency would likely turn to the Dome's owner — the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority — or the three so-called government "sponsors" that paid to build the Dome.

Details of the team's plan are not being made public and the Rams said the process will remain confidential. The St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission said Tuesday that that NFL team has submitted its counterproposal to a plan the CVC announced in February.
