Sussex

- CE - Saturday, May 20th, 2006 : goo

I was cleaning up some of my old pictures folders and came across this. It's a picture of downtown in my old home town of Sussex. I think I got the picture from the Sussex website.

I hated Sussex, absolutely despised it. I couldn't wait for the day to come that I could leave and was infinitely happy when that day came. I made this little picture somewhat out of bordom and somewhat out of wishful thinking. It would have made me so happy if this green blob had have actually fallen from the sky and destroyed the town.

Now that I'm older and have lived out of Sussex for a couple years, I no longer wish the same fate on the little town where I was born and raised. I still would never want to live there again but I do enjoy going back once and awhile to visit (and poke fun at it and it's inhabitants [am I a snob? Absolutely]).

Where is this?! Do you know how many Sussexes there are? It's like Springfield...

Sussex is a weird place. I could tell you a story about every one of those buildings. Ironically enough, one of the buildings on fire in this picture actually did burn to the ground a couple months ago. Here are some pictures I got off the website. I'm going to Sussex sometime soon to visit so I'll do a good series on the town when I get back.

This is sharps drugs. It's been around since the beginning of time.

This is the old Sussex train station. Passenger trains stopped going through the town about 10 years ago. It's now an ice cream parlour and a tourist bureau.

Another shot of downtown from a not so great angle.

M&Ms: From a Chocolate Addict


I am a total chocolate addict. No doubt about it. I'll eat any chocolate except for Maraschino Cherry ones (my fave is caramel, hazelnut or candy-coated ones). I had an old bag of M&Ms today and the first 5 M&Ms...
