So one night my grandfather was out for a night on the town with his buddies. He got really, really drunk and wandered away from them. He ended up calling my grandmother from a pay phone, asking her to come pick him up. When she asked him where he was he said “On the corner of Walk and Don’t Walk”.
After he got off the phone with her he zipped himself up to a nearby parking meter so that he wouldn’t wander off again while he waited for my grandmother to come get him. A couple years later all is friends pitched in and presented him with a parking meter for his birthday.
Just wanted to show you this picture of my Grandfather so you know that you’ll never be as cool as he was.
That is all.
I need to reblog this every once in a while because he was adorable and I miss him.
This is where I work, in 1948, when my Great Grandfather owned it. He is the man sitting on the left.

My Great Uncle Arthur “Doc Jones”
Fun fact I recently learned about him. He was quite a famous radio personality and eventually became John Belushi’s neighbor and friend. They were buried near each other.
