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.
