Frontier sign on the StripIt’s all about the ponies. That’s all I’m saying! Last night Bravo, Nick the Cabbie, and myself went out to do a little gambling at the New Frontier on it’s last night as an operating casino. It was fun! You know it’s funny how when you live in this town you can forget how much fun it can be to just go to an old casino with a couple of friends and roam around laughing while you pump “silver dollars” into a machine like they have no value.

Places you go in life are just places until something happens there. After that the place is special, it has memories. It doesn’t have be something good, necessarily. Something tragic will definitely make the place stand out in your mind and you won’t soon forget it. When something good happens, though, it makes the place very special, indeed, and when change happens, you can’t help but be nostalgic.

I fell in love once over some Viale Lemonades. She was and is a very special girl, but we don’t talk anymore.
