Champ's is dead


Well they shut the door to the place that was my favorite place to hang. Last night a bunch of us got together to have a last wooraw at Hudson's. It was a lot of fun but also bittersweet. Everyone joked around saying we were homeless now. But what's sad at least to me is that a part of my life is now gone. I started working there back when i was 17 when back then it was Chrispy's but I made a lot of friends who i"m still friend with today because of working there. I got to know a lot of people in the community from lawyers, bankers, City Officials, coaches, OU Football players. It was a big melting pot so to speak. It was my cheers where everyone knew my name. And I felt comfortable there. It was the type of bar where you could just walk in not knowing anyone and by the time you left you made many new friends.

Well i guess it was bound to happen but nice I still have two months before i move. Where am i going to go now? Well i swear that this year is the year of changes. I remember talking to Maggie and Sarah back when they were here. And we were discussing the coming year and how we were all going into uncharted territory heading into new directions. Maggie moved to Dublin, Sarah moved to California, and I'm moving to Chicago. Several of my friends got new jobs, others complete career changes, and one got a new house. It almost feels like this is happening for a reason. That this is the turning point in my life into a completely new direction.

Well from what i heard they are moving a womens clothing store into the building and expanding the health club. So well whatever with that. That's going to be a major renovation. Well that's all i have to say so I guess as they say...you have to move on. (sigh)
