It ain’t dere no more
One of the themes after Federal Flood was all the things that weren’t here no more like K&B or Sidmar’s or Bucktown or Fitzgerald’s or Maggie’s. But lately in my interactions with Tin I find myself telling him over and over that what I am doing right now might not be what he does when he grows up such as:
Reading the newspaper
Putting a letter in the mailbox at the post office
The payphone still on Louisiana that he always looks at and says telephone.
It is quite amazing to be living through these times when so much change is upon us that it is making us all somewhat off kilter and yet I don’t know how many people knew as parents that icons of their present would not be there for their child’s future.
