Oh, the memories...

Today's lunch conversation centered around the fact the one my staff participated in OSU's senior crawl last night. His sister in law is graduating, so he and his wife went down to campus and participated in the festivities (remember the average age of my staff is about 24-25) He was saying they started all the way up a Ledo's - I was like, isn't that in Clintonville???? But apparently they made it all the way down to South Campus...

Thankfully, my boss was with us - he is a few yrs older than I am and I recognized some of the bars he was talking about...The Cornerstone, Flying Tomato, Mean Mr. Mustards, Panini's (apparently still there, in a different location) Not Al's, Not Al's Too (still there) Of course, nothing could compare to Papa Joe's... there was a tear in my eye as I relived the night Jodi, Natalie and I watched in horror as it burned down in our backyard....

Those were days - those were also the days were afternoon naps were still appropriate...

Do recall the time Jamie Sumner and his friends went and danced in the mud where Papa Joes dance floor used to be and then tromped around our apartment.... RIP Papa Joes!

The crawl these days is laughable compared to what it used to be with all the bars that used to exist. Long live Papa Joes!!!
