So cool!
I know all the places you mentioned as I lived there until my late twenties (I turned 50 last year).
I moved back for a few years in the early 2000s and would often watch the Rams at Smokey Bones on Central Ave.
Not sure if you recall this, but when Siena was making good runs in the tournaments I used to go to viewing parties at the teletheater.
It was pretty cool watching them on that huge screen as they tried to slay Goliath (sometimes succeeding).
Den and I still text throughout EVERY Ram game like every minute or two during the entire game ( then throughout the week) and we haven't seen each other in person in close to two decades.
I know it comes across via his posts so I'm likely not revealing anything here... Den is a Ram die hard, but he's an even better person and friend.
If you DO get a chance to catch up with him you'll know what I mean right away.
Man, what a crazy small world.
