Yeah, got that. Families playing peek-a-boo with their kids over menus? That, too. It was a typical Lebanese scene and one that would be instantly recognizable in, say, northern California. It was easy to forget that just a few miles down the mountain roads, people could suffer an Israeli air strike at any minute - in fact, if there had been any bombings, we would...

HoCo members squeezed vials of food coloring into the beer...
...selecting and dating each item—which means this is the place to look if you want a piece from a particular decade. Because of the competition, the prices at Oona’s are good—I got a gorgeous Audrey Hepburn-style dress in red crepe for $10. White also stocks new accessories, including legwarmers and fishnets, in order to follow current trends.
