[bodytext] => Somebody burned the Junction down,
A few years back they had changed its name to “Rock Steady” to make it more appealing to the younger crowd instead of the derelict, broken souls that had called it home but everybody still referred to it as the Junction Somebody burned the Junction down, It wasn’t really all that…Just one step up from a hole in the wall filled with dope fiends, and drunks, and rogues with no other place to go, no desire but to kill the pain of living Somebody burned the Junction down, I wonder if the Rottweillers were still on the roof the way they used to be when a ‘snowstorm’ hit town back before the original owners got busted for drugs? I think that was what it was Somebody burned the Junction down, I remember being scared to death the first time I walked through its doors at the tender age of fifteen, they didn’t even card you back then, they didn’t care if you had money, you were old enough, no questions asked Somebody burned the Junction down, no more fights in the men’s room, over some whore no more stabbings in the parking lot for the same reason I heard once that one of the one-time owners had even kneecapped some poor b***ard with a .38 behind the fence out back Somebody burned the Junction down, It wasn’t much, but there was something else besides the smell of fear and hatred that was always hanging in the air, like the reaper deciding who to take today… It was fun… I can’t believe Somebody burned the Junction down.
