I discovered today that Volt has a blog. From the most recent post (May 3rd):

I received an anonymous tip from an FMO reader about Luke’s Pizza Company …
I just discovered that Luke’s Pizza Company on Crestwood Blvd. is now closed for two to four weeks for “emergency renovations.”  I wonder if this means the Health Department nailed it, or if the store has changed hands once again?

This got buried in the comments of the last post so I thought I’d bring it to the top of the page with it’s own post. Thanks to TK for the info:
