According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

India Currents

I have lived in America for close to forty years, almost my entire adult life. I’ve been an American citizen for decades and I think of myself as an American first and an Indian second. In my younger days, I never gave the question of this hyphenated identity any thought.
