The Colosseum is one of the symbols representing Italy (and more specifically Rome) world wide. Its shredded stone walls stand tall against the passing of years. But not if fashion has something to say about it!

Tod’s (yes, the same Tod’s for which Gwyneth Paltrow used to represent) has apparently set up a guarantee fund for the restoration of the Colosseum (10 million euros, $12,7 Million) to start the works at the Colosseum. However, this is not something Tod’s is doing for free (although they reportedly denied it): for the entire duration of the restoration of the monument (for which they’re willing to donate 25 Million euros $31,8 Million), Tod’s ads would be visible on the Colosseum’s protective wraps.

Located about halfway between New Bedford and the Cape, the scenic local institution — family-owned since it opened in 1986 — is a great meeting place. I’ve had breakfast there with friends many times and always found the food to be homemade and delicious.

As a kid, Frank Younce liked to hop on his skateboard and ride down to the Top Hat Burger Palace whenever he found enough spare change in the seat cushions of the family couch.

“It was an adventure,” he said of the 30-block journey. “I only took it when it could get the money together to buy a chili cheese dog.”

Younce, now 50, kept going to the Top Hat until he couldn’t anymore. That was in February 2010, when, after six decades at Palm and Main streets in downtown Ventura, Top Hat was evicted by the owners of the parking lot on which it sat in an 8-foot by 22-foot shack.

Aside from the boarded-up burger shack, the lot is unoccupied and surrounded by a chain-link fence.

The young daughter is now traveling to a hospital in Rome, where her mother was transferred, to examine the validity of her possession. She brings along a film crew to document the experience.
