The 3 G's


































The Giordano's Restaurant.

We loved that place. It has long since fallen off the map and been replaced by an establishment I don't recognize, but years ago, it was a place were we all gathered at one point or another.

We sang karaoke, danced to local bands, shared first drinks, sat for evening coffee, and even mourned lost friends.

They had weekly auctions which I frequented with my family. One of the few times you could gather my sisters, father, mother, and even my good friend Jon under the same roof for a meal outside of the conventional means. We would all bid on the most mundane of trinkets, and most of the time we were out bid. There always seem to be a large distance between what we could afford, and what any given object that caught our eyes eventually got sold for.

I missed the closing...
that saddens me quite a bit.
There were a lot of good times spent there...
all of which are now not much more than ghosts on VHS for me.
