It Would Have Been A One Minute Walk

Right before going to lunch I Google mapped it. And then on lunch confirmed it. If Long Wongs On Mill was still standing, it'd literally be a one minute walk from my office. That's no exaggeration, it'd one minute, or 381 feet away from my office.

It didn't dawn on me until today. And when it did, it was an amazing (and sad) revelation. Y'know, 16 years ago the concept that I would work 381 feet away from Long Wongs (or the vacant lot where it once stood), the reality would have been virtual inconceivable. It still blows me my mind.

And of course, it's also incredibly sad. How great would it be to have the choice of going to Wongs for lunch on any given lunch break.

On the bright side, Zia Records still exists, and is only a 4 minute walk from my office. I think it goes without saying where I spent my lunch hour today. [wink]
