True story.
About 20 years ago, my wifey and I are up in Scottsdale staying at some hotel near Scottsdale and Indian School. We decided to go for a walk that evening and low and behold there was a liquor on the east side of Scottsdale road, Arcadia Liquors. I grew up in Phoenix and I told her I had to go in there and buy some beer.
It was a hole-in-the-wall store, a hold over from 20 years prior before Scottsdale was Scottsdale. I was talking to the clerk and shared how I used to come in there when I was in high school and but beer. He chuckled and said 'then you were buying from my dad'.
We had a nice conversation about then and now, and how things had changed from the '70s. A few years later he sold the property and there is a high rise there now.
It's rough being a boomer.
