And if I remember right, a lot of said Russians have roots in Odessa specifically. One of those strange immigration stories, back from when we were a more welcoming country.

Me, I like to go to the beach down there on a hot summer weekend (closer than the Rockaways, cleaner than Coney Island), spend the day playing frisbee, swimming and drinking beer, then go to a random restaurant for an intensely heavy, meaty, properly Eastern European dinner.
