I have pictures!! I drove downtown and found a parking meter that still had 49 minutes worth of time still left on it. I walked around snapping photographs of some of the more interesting edifices. I will post them soon....I was going to try to get pictures of the "Twilight Zone" highschool (a big brick building with a plaque dedicated to Rod Serling underneath a grove of trees. I think it looks creepy. I mean, interesting-creepy) but it was a bit of a walk and I couldn't feel my hands. So instead I ducked inside of Boscov's (a department store.)
Its the department store that time forgot. There are signs in there that look so old, its like they are from 1949 or something--at least to my mind. It's four stories high but it's
the kind of place where I felt completely comfortable walking around in my "I just came from the laundromat" sweats and running shoes with a hole in one of them. And the sales people all make eye contact with you. It's like, they look right at you because they haven't got enough customers to wait on or something. Or maybe its because I'm the youngest customer they've ever seen. I thought the place was quite laid back; they seemed rather jovial with one another. Yesterday, (a really horrible day) I got informed by one of the mouthpieces of the ever so kindly grapevine at my school that I probably am not going to get a teaching job that I applied for this summer....well, if the department-store-that-time-forgot has any openings, maybe I will work there...
I have to go see a play now....In the future I will try to be more social (i.e. with posting comments on other people's journals) so hopefully people will also find mine!
