Sandy’s ankle was swollen so I did the Sunday bike ride solo today. Got 13 miles in, it was nice. Beautiful weather for it. They put the maintenance guts on the top of the tower, really neat to see.

Another thing is that I was riding over in an abandoned retail district and found a sign on the door of the old At Home spot (which is huge) and it looks like they’re wanting to put a bar in there. It’s really not a bad idea. There’s a ton of room and a ton of parking, it could be a mid-cities version of the Bronco Bowl, they’ve got hotels and such so they could be a venue for bands… But the truth of it is that area will never be a crowd gathering area again, retail as we knew it is kind of dead. The Northeast Mall is on life support. If the Macy’s closes there (or any of the anchors for that matter) the mall is gone. Forever 21 closed up shop leaving absolutely nothing in that corridor. It’s kind of sad to see.

Once I got home we decided to go to Egg Haven for breakfast. I (for some reason) had a bit of anxiety just because I thought that it would be crowded. It wasn’t. It was very good too. Sandy had the French toast with Nutella and bananas. I had coffee (good cup of Joe) and the American breakfast. The sausage was patty (not link) so I got the bacon. I’m not the biggest fan of bacon when eating out because I make it better:)
