Oh wow.  John Kessler posted this press release from Everybody’s owner Andy Kurlansky…

After 41 great years in Emory Village, we are retiring from the restaurant business.

We are proud to have served some 3 million pizzas to multiple generations of Atlantans since 1971.

Here’s to all who had their first dates at Everybody’s, met their spouse at Everybody’s, or celebrated other of life’s joyous events with us.

Thanks to all in Atlanta who have been loyal fans of our pizza, and who have been guests in our “home.”

But most of all, we thank all of the wonderful folks who have worked with us throughout these 41 years, for they have been the true heart and soul of the place.

Without their dedication and love, none of it could have happened.

The world celebrated the 109th anniversary of the birthday of Dr. Seuss last Saturday. In his honor, The Onion, the world’s most trusted news source, published a list of Seuss’ lesser-known titles including:

One Fish, Two Fish, Three Fish, Four Fish, Five Fish, Six Fish, Seven Fish, Eight Fish: An unsuccessful early effort released before Seuss learned to use his imagination

Reservoir Dogs: Several dogs botch a diamond heist in this gritty crime thriller for children aged 4 to 8, which later served as the basis for the 1992 film of the same name

Did you read any of Seuss’ more obscure books as a child?
