Yeah, it was definitely my favorite job ever. When I was real young, I remember my mother and I parking on top of the hill and peering through the trees to watch a race or two go off in front of thousands of people who came outside to watch from the apron. It was quite different the last few years of its existence. Very sad. Two of the largest casinos in the world coming to Eastern CT sealed PGP's fate.

I still like to play the puppies once in a while, but I wish Plainfield was still around.
