It was supposed to be a celebration.That most syrupy of holidays, National Pancake Day, finally came around again this Tuesday, affording lovers of griddled batter a welcome excuse to pound some pancakes into their pieholes.But for one notable local peddler of flat breakfast food, the celebration was cut short, thanks to a car that went smashing into its doorway on Tuesday evening.And sure, it's wonderful that no one was physically injured.
