I cannot wait to have a moonshine Manhattan and some country-fried tapas with you at that place. I always wanted to stay there as a child and swim in the “cement pond!”

If I were you, I'd be petitioning my condo board to plant some evergreen trees in my backyard! You're two deciduous trees away from a full-on neon view!

"Goin' down to the Greyhound station

Gonna buy me a one-way fare

Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

By tomorrow I'll be right there.

But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek

Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child

And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow

And the strawberries used to grow wild.

There's a drag strip down by the riverside

Where my grandma's cow used to graze

Now, the grass don't grow, and the river don't flow

Like it did in my childhood days." (Joe South)
