Can’t tell you how psyched I was to see Oaxaca Taqueria today. Got 2 pork tacos for $10. Absolutely terrible. What is with the gyro style tacos? All fat, no meat. $10 for 2 tacos. Low overhead should mean they should be at least as good as the ones in their stores and definitely not more expensive. In the brick and mortar you get $4 tacos that are much better. They don’t even resemble the tacos I just threw away. The guy in line before me came back and threw them in the garbage as well. Not to mention gyro style in this kind of wind and in a parking lot means coated in dirt and dust.

Hall of Famer Lou Carnesecca, legendary St. John’s basketball coach, dies at 99

The St. John’s University community will gather to mourn legendary basketball coach Lou Carnesecca on the Hillcrest campus he loved with all of his heart Friday morning for his Funeral Mass at St. Thomas More Church, where he will be remembered not just for building a dynamic program, but for the way he did it. The beloved coach died peacefully surrounded by family and friends on Saturday, Nov. 30, at age 99 and just five weeks shy of his 100th birthday.

“Throughout his long life, Coach Carnesecca represented St. John’s with savvy, humility, smarts, tenacity, wit, integrity and grace,” SJU President Rev. Brian Shanley said. “He was the public face of our University, and he embodied the values of our Catholic and Vincentian mission. We thank God for his legacy.”
