Gerald, your story came up in my mailbox this morning.

A pleasant gay fellow ran the soda fountain named Jack. One day, as a closed gay teen, I sat on a stool and drepressingly ordered a malt. Jack must have notice my sighing despair and told me it was on the house. He cheered me up that dark day. Who knew then that happiness could be mine too. Now, after 32 years with my husband, there's no need for a heavy heart.<br /><br />Thanks for the malt Jack!<br /><br />JimGeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619283962872855985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733029980475269599.post-84944029259881699342009-03-03T05:39:00.000-08:002009-03-03T05:39:00.000-08:00It's simply astonishing how that interior looks li...It's simply astonishing how that interior looks like.

Sometimes one business can't make it, so a healthy business moves in. It would be terrible if we tore down a building every time that happened. This way a building serves a new function and gets to stay, and look at all the different things this building has sheltered.<BR/><BR/>I do hope, however, the realtors found a way to keep that lunch counter!Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733029980475269599.post-74961865072768755792009-02-22T01:23:00.000-08:002009-02-22T01:23:00.000-08:00Bad :(Bad :(humanobserverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694251650444469600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733029980475269599.post-62921537155265372432009-02-21T19:04:00.000-08:002009-02-21T19:04:00.000-08:00I'm at Pasadena AdjacentThis is where I was except...I'm at <A HREF="www.pasadenaadjacent.com" REL="nofollow">Pasadena Adjacent</A><BR/><BR/>This is where I was except I took a street down to the cliff side in front of a church complex.
