Memory Lane: Games

Photo by Jason Pertile.

     I miss going to games.  I miss watching races at Flat Rock Speedway.  I miss going to soccer games in Ann Arbor, and baseball games at Jimmy John's Field in Utica.  I miss the fresh air, the reasonably priced entertainment, and the enthusiastic crowds of people.  I miss the smells of hot dogs, and popcorn that seem to linger throughout a venue.  I miss the anticipation, and the excitement of going to those games.  I miss the memories that would have been made at those games.
