This Town, Is Looking Like a Ghost Town – Where IS Everyone?

39300

Admittedly childless and out of sync with local school calendars we thought we would let The Specials ask what we have been thinking for the last week or so: Where’d everyone go?

Is it spring break already? Local kids abandoning our parks and playgrounds for a well-deserved sojourn South of the Border and on to Coco Bongo? Parents abandoning the flatlands for Tahoe? People losing their jobs or fearful of losing them? The local clubs seem empty, our stores seem to not be busy and traffic around town seems lighter than normal. Things seem – off.

What’s going on? Any ideas?

    No one seems to be in a very festive mood. I’m not surprised things are quiet.

    Was out in Walnut Creek Saturday night and it was hopping. Cruised through Lafayette a couple times over the weekend and there were lots out and about. Wouldn’t be surprised if business has slowed a bit over the last couple years though.

    People don’t know if their checks are coming this month. And I know a couple of people who have been layed off.

        Hey, we’ve had it going for that long… along with A Message to Rudy and You’re Wondering Now – with some nice work by Amy Winehouse. Definitely improving the mood around the News Bunker!
