I’ve posted this photo before, but I just touched it up in Photoshop a bit more and felt like sharing it as the Lincoln is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. (As Ferris Bueller would say).

It is a great example of how fast time flies as this photo is ten years old already. This was taken outside the Ralston Road Cafe, which a few years later became one of those classic instances where a business one takes for granted just disappears out of nowhere without warning. Currently, new townhomes fill the space it once occupied.

The parking lot has significance to me as it is where I worked for seven years pushing carts at Safeway, my first job during and after high school. Pushed a lot of carts here. Chased a lot of shoplifters. This lot is now a bunch of townhomes, and there is still building going on in this immediate area, which was admittedly getting a big run-down. I’m not even sure Walmart across the street was open when this photo was taken.
