saying goodbye to a good thing

Even though I haven’t lived in Massachusetts for many years now, this news makes me sad. After providing a place for regulars to congregate and serving good food for many, many years, Skips is closing to provide the way for newer development. Skips is a staple of the area where I grew up. I can still picture the counter when you first walk in. The memory is a little faded but still there. And it saddens me to hear that places I wen to and my parents went to will no longer be there. I worry that this is the fate of all my childhood memories. Will Kimball Farm be next? And what about my favorite ice cream stand, Sully’s? Makes me want to get to Mass quick so I can get memorial pictures before everything is gone.
