PANCAKES: Not even close

As soon as we heard that a pal of ours -- a former U.S. Navy chef -- would be manning the griddle at a West Chester pancake breakfast, we put it on the schedule.
My fellow pancake-fan glanced at the tickets, saw the words "Green," "Lutheran Church" and "West Chester" and took it from there. We set off for West Chester, reached the church where he thought it was being held, saw some yellow signs saying "Event" and pulled in, tummies rumbling.
Alas, there were no signs whatsoever of pancakes being cooked. I looked at the tickets. Turns out this church was a Baptist one, and it was on Airport Road, which is somewhat near Greenhill Road. The correct church was a Lutheran church on Green Lane.
I pointed this out. The best defense he could muster was that, after all, "Green" and "Greenhill" share some letters.
After much laughter and a quick GPS check, we headed to the real church, where we enjoyed great pancakes and fellowship.
