    The Dakota

    ‘ Today is the 28th anniversay of John Lennon’”‘”‘s death, so I thought I would devote today’”‘”‘s blog to him. I have never really been much into music (my idea of a music icon is Britney Spears, if that tells you anything!) so I was never a fan of John Lennon or the Beatles. My…

    Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”
