Shadows

Just reminiscing a little lately. It's been a while since I lived in the Elmwood/ West Ferry area, about 10 years to be exact. I am happy to see and hear some of the changes that residents are trying to make. I just can't help but miss the time when first I moved there. Cecelia's was the Bidwell Station P.O. ( I'm still a little ticked that it closed), the Feel-Rite store was Bingham-Dambach's pharmacy, one of the last family run RX's in the area, Yum-wich shop was like the best place to eat unless in the mood for Kononia which was a tad more up-scale.Rosie's was a good place to hear some good jazz. It wasn't that long ago, really. We used to have neighborhood Salon meetings monthly next door to the Co-Op which gradually died out by the early 90's. By the time I left the neighborhood had changed drastically and I must admit I kind of gave it up for dead. I am relieved to see it coming back. I hope it can be the community it once was. I think I'd consider returning when the time is right.
