End of an Era

Well, we just discovered that the Taco Bell in the Hampshire Mall is gone. Since we rarely go to that mall, we have no idea when this occured (could have been many months ago, I suppose).

But that was our date spot -- for dinner and a movie. True, we only did that about once a year, but it was nice to know that we could go have some scary-cheap Tex-Mex before catching a flick. Apparently, we were the only ones eating there, and our annual patronage was not enough to keep them in business. Or was it that we stole so many packets of Fire Sauce that we bankrupt the whole operation? I'm not sure which it was, but surely it is our fault that they closed.

Now I guess we'll have to run to down to Chicopee when we crave those salty, greasy nachos smothered in orange cheeselike-sauce and topped with sour-cream-product. Sad.

Hey,I thought you'd decided that you were too old for Taco Bell. Change your mind?

I know. I ate there too, and loved it, so you two weren't the ONLY ones keeping it in business. Though I confess to Fire sauce pilfering as well, not sure why.

The one in Noho is gone too. It's "Spoleto Express" now. How's that for an overarching metaphor? At least you can go to Chicopee. Well, I suppose I could go to Chicopee, but, well, I won't.
