Green Hills Memorial Park
Time stands still, waiting for you to catch up. Waiting for you to grow older. Waiting for you to be happy. Has it really been 27 years? I’m driving to see you. I know the way. But my heart resists. I think maybe this is bad for me. Maybe I should turn around. But I want to see you. Green grass as far as the eyes can see. I pay my respects with flowers. And speak to you in my head, updating you on everything. This is not the way it should be. Your name written in stone. I miss my little brother and imagine all he could be at…

Albie’s Beef Inn
“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.” Neil Gaiman – The Sandman Wish I had been here in the beginning to see the freshly painted ladies on the wall.

I still wonder what the food was like.

Colima’s Mexican Food
The First History Man: “Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search of our better selves?” Mad Max Fury Road Saturdays I use to bike down this road on my way to Comic Kingdom. It was the furthest I had ever biked but comic books were the obsession of my 8 year old self. I never let myself get distracted on my quest but I remember a Pioneer Chicken and a Food Basket along the way but I don’t remember Colima’s Mexican Food.

Green Dragon Tavern and Museum 6115 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, CA 92011 (760) 918-2421
There is something about brick buildings that I just adore. Maybe it’s the architecture, symmetry or the lovely brick red color, it makes a statement loud and clear. Here I am! Come on inside! This place appealed to me right from the start. A genuine replica of Boston’s original Green Dragon Tavern, demolished in 1854. Silly people, didn’t they know what they were tearing down?
