Leonardo's Pizza of Millhopper located in Gainesville, Florida has been in business since 1979. With another location in Gainesville and some others elsewhere around the country, it was one of the first to begin selling pizza-by-the-slice. What really makes Leonardo's special is the people. The workers are an ecclectic mix. Being at Leonardo's is like walking onto a movie set. It's a b-list movie waiting to happen.

Chuck Davis, 20, from a small farm outside of Gainesville, Fl is a current kitchen employee at Leonardo's. He strums away on his banjo during one of his smoke breaks.
Davis says he wants a simple life away from civilization where he can play his music and live freely.

My model bailed on me so I had to get creative, and work with what I had. I edited the last one by inverting the colors. It's the only one that has been edited.

The neighborhood was not trash laden until construction began in October.



Overflowing with garbage, the dumpster is now ill equipped to hold the neighborhood trash.
