CAT Tracks for August 5, 2020
THE NEON LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT |
So sang the Drifters about Broadway back in 1963.
Well, forget Broadway!
They'd change their tune, well, their lyrics, if they drove by Cairo Junior/Senior High School at night in 2020.
Since I don't get out at much anymore (does anybody?), especially at night...
...it took a picture from an ace CAT Tracks reporter to pique this old CAT's curiosity.
So, at 3 a.m. I get in my car and drive up to the CJSHS building and lo and behold, my tipster was right when he said "It glows!":
CAT Tracks Editor's Less Catty Commentary:
Yes, I know I was a tad negative yesterday about the CJSHS extreme makeover. I was in a good mood, so I don't know what prompted my outburst. Maybe it was just a "window" into my damaged psyche, a PTSD flashback.
Whatever!
Anyway...
I really like what they have done to the gymnasium facade and the neon CAIRO is a nice touch, the piece de resistance.
Okay, I guess I haven't recovered completely, because I gotta add (subtract?)...
...if they would just paint over the words of motivation scrawled on walls at the "pod entrance", I'd give the makeover five stars!
Okay, folks, time for a CAT nap...
