What horrific news..Spent the better part of every Friday night there as a younger man..First stop on the way to the shore. Would meet the whole family for dinner and drinks. So very sad. My uncles and Aunts would tell me of her glory days..The lot filled with cars, and standing room only from the rail to the doors.
I have been stopping in the last few years for the simulcast with a mixed bag of folks probably there for the same reason I was, to reminisce. I would head out to the apron to get a good look at the old gal...Broken but still beautiful.. Strange how some things stay with you from a place. Sitting here at my desk I can still bring up the sites and smells. What wonderful memories. Nothing like a track by the sea.
Not sure how I'm getting there Friday but I feel like I need to say goodbye... As she will surely be torn down in the name of "progress"
I'm going to miss her.
