Azure Persuasion Painting

"I wouldn't trade a minute of it." - Uncle Benny Happy Valley; 1970 something. I lived in "The Clinic" on North Gill for two years after spending my Freshman year in the dorms and my Sophomore year in a generic apartment complex. "The Clinic" had no medical or mental health implications, it was really just the name we gave our five bedroom rental house. We were, however, right across the street from a working laboratory of some type and next to a huge cinder block building with no windows and no sign indicating what was going on in there. Past the windowless building was the golf course. At the bottom of our block was the original location and the birthplace of Accuweather, but the rest of North Gill was student housing like us. Across the broken glass and overgrown parking lot that was our backyard and past the abandoned Fiat was a conveniently located drive-thru beer distributor. It was so close we walked over to get cases and kegs with a shopping cart that somehow appeared one day on our back porch. We didn't have parties every single week, but we didn't miss too many. I knew we had gotten out of hand when someone at a tailgate party that I didn't know invited me to a party tonight at The Clinic. He even gave me directions to my own house... "Work hard. Play hard. Be nice to people." Classic Happy Valley ethos! What a great place to be 20 or 21 years old. The cast at The Clinic was a revolving door of colorful characters that included Moose, Ziggy, Juice, Juan, QB, Frenchie, JR, Tony G, and Sarge. Plus assorted friends old and new that slept over from time to time. Eventually I graduated and moved away to join the real world, but I can see why some people choose the six or seven year plan. I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
