I was walking by the Stadium yesterday afternoon about 4:30 when an SUV pulls. The guy in the passenger seat asks if I'm from around here. I said yes. Then he wanted directions to the Flats.

It's Mother's Day, a Sunday, late afternoon, in Cleveland and I didn't know if anything would be open. In my best Bill Walton, "How sad."
