Newark, NJ - Peter - Friday, June 30th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Today, when I got to work, there was a minor flood in the men's room. After it was repaired, I noticed that a previously painted-over valve-access door had been opened (I assume to turn off the valve that was leaking)...
Ever the curious one, I, of course, had to open the door to see what was behind it. I found a message scrawled in pencil, in hasty cursive handwriting... what did it say?
This building was built in the early 60s, and as the writing looks like it's been there for a long time, I'm imagining that this message has been there since then, perhaps written by a hopeful construction worker.
I wonder who Evelyn is, if they ever got married, and where they are now?

If your estimated date is right - they could have had children who would be in their 40's now. But my guess is - if he couldn't ask her in person they never got married. Evelyn - if you're out there - it never too late!

Found notes like this add history and intrige, even to a bath room .
Sure is better that "for a good time call...."
Evelyn , marry me instead i will not put your name in a bathroom , i promise !

He could have scribbled his phone number... just to increase the chances.

Probably wrote the note before the door was installed. Or maybe Evelyn was the cleaning lady for the bathroom. He wrote the note and left the door open so she could see it when she went inside to do the cleaning.

City Hall Park at Night
The fountain glowed, the gaslights burned, and the fog surrounded the top of the hulking Municipal Building.
