Starting place?   EDEN
Friday, e.g.: ABBR.   SGT [from TV's Dragnet]
Suite spot?   HOTEL
Things used in semi circles   CBS [semi drivers use CB radios; I think they still do]
Tony's cousin   OBIE [I thought Soprano, etc. --- Tony is for Broadway shows; OBIE is for off-Broadway shows]
One you might not want to meet   MAKER [as in "meet your maker"]
