 Sometimes people will move things just to mess with your head. I had an old girl friend, Michele, who was an actress on Broadway and when I was in New York visiting her, I'd have to kill two or three hours everyday while she was working. (You can only watch the same musical so many times.) Wandering around one day I found an Irish pub just off Broadway that sold Guinness at a reasonable price (by Big Apple standards) so I spent some quality time there. Years later I was back in New York for New Years Eve 2000 so I went looking for the place. It was gone. The whole block was gone...demolished. I was bummed but a short while later I saw an Irish pub down a side street and went there. I kept getting a weird déjà vu feeling and told the bartender the place reminded me a lot of the other place I used to go. He said, "There's a reason for that. This is that bar. We had to move the whole thing when they bought out our block." Something similar happened here. I always used to fill up with gas at the Arco at 12 and Peninsula. I pulled in one day, got off my bike and turned to grab the nozzle before I noticed all the pumps were gone. Funny...they were there when I filled up the week before. That was weird...but not as weird as the time I got back from vacation and my place of employment was gone. When I first came to Erie I worked at the original Jet radio, which was on the AM band. When I got back from that vacation and got within range I punched my preset for Jet and some other station came on. It turned out that while I was gone they had purchased an FM frequency and moved Jet over there. Maybe they were hoping I wouldn't find it. Ha! I showed them. |
