"We shall build a tower that will reach to the stars!" Having conceived Babel, yet unable to build it themselves, they had thousands build it for them. But those who toiled knew nothing of the dreams of those who planned. And the minds that planned the Tower of Babel cared nothing for the workers who built it. Hymns of praise of the few became the curses of the many - BABEL! BABEL! BABEL! - Between the mind that plans and the hands that build there must be a Mediator, and this must be the heart.
If I had the money, because the properties are up for sale, I would buy them, tear down the old buildings, and build a new greasy spoon type restaurant where the old one was.
And maybe a Mom & Pops type General Store that sold homemade Ice Cream, Candies, Fudges, Confections, etc. etc.
I'd thought of renting most of the land out for Pagan Gatherings, but this area is in The Bible Belt, so that's a no-go.
But, I'll never forget those Homemade Bacon Cheeseburgers & Leslie, the Sweet Lady clerk.
@stueytheround I was thinking that too. I also remember the clerk was the sweetest woman in the world at the time, and her husband did all the cooking. She was always like, "Hey Sweetheart, you wanna give them Devil Machines a try again?", referring to the Pinball machines.
They told me that the Husband was found fucking one of the Livestock Market hookers, which confirmed there was a prostitution ring, and they divorced and sold the Restaurant to someone, before she came down with Dementia.
The Greasy Spoon also had three Electro-Mechanical Pinball machines, and an original Space Invaders Deluxe (or Space Invaders Part II). They also had two generic looking cabinets, one with Crazy Kong (Yes, I said "Crazy Kong") & Ms. PAC-MAN with a generic "Lady Bug" Marquee.
The top floor was apartments, some rented out to vendors.
It's also quite possible that the restaurant was once a bootlegging house, as the county it was in is dry, and a rumored Prostitution ring was also going on.
So, I saw this picture today (Left), and this somewhat reminded me of a Greasy Spoon back in Eastern KY, outside of a now abandoned Flea Market & Livestock House (Right), where sometimes I would go eat & buy bootleg cigs during the Winters.
I looked for it in Google Earth & the properties are completely abandoned. The Greasy Spoon & Apartment building is still there, but falling apart.
Also, where some vendors sold Counterfeit stuff, they were often the targets of State Police & FBI raids.
Harris came off like a Smoking Gun!
Trump came off, once again, making a God Damn FOOL of himself!
