   Via CNN: [1]Sopranos finale not welcome in Diner

     BLOOMFIELD, New Jersey (AP) -- The producers of "The Sopranos" were
     denied a permit to film in this North Jersey town because the mayor
     and some City Council members say the acclaimed HBO series
     negatively depicts Italian-Americans.

     The owners of an old-fashioned ice cream parlor selected for the
     series' final scene, however, said such "personal feelings"
     shouldn't stand in the way.

     "He should do what's good for the town," Chris Carley, co-owner of
     Holsten's Brookdale Confectionary, said of Bloomfield Mayor Raymond
     McCarthy.

   Holsten's Brookdale Confectionary, ugatz it's a diner. The editors at
   CNN can't read? It's an ice cream parlor, a confectionary, ice cream
   and chocolate. Diner's where you got big greasy sandwiches, spaghetti
   with wine, giant pies and shit.

   We used to go to the Brookdale Confectionary for ice cream every week
   after church. Best chocolate chip ice cream in Jersey.
