It's raining really hard right now. I wish it would quit because I have to ride my scooter home.

There is a "5 and Dime" on 36 and Clyde Park here.
The sign, the store and most of what is inside looks like it hasn't changed much in 30 years.
I love to look around the place any time I end up out in that area. One day I might go there with Evan to buy a "kite."
