A P.S. To "It's Not Anti-Yoga, At This Point. It's Anti-World: Rainbo Oil/Kwik Stop/Dairy Queen/Fazoli's (Still Dubuque, IA)" Below

As a side, Asburians and "Westside" peops (Everything went wrong when the signs saying "Westside," etc. started going up), during one early conversation in my employment there, before he could be hit by "Dee" the Food Manager's stares equivalent to constant 'bowing to shut up, when he'd already revealed his own lack of leadership & business acumen/understanding of hierarchy, namely in relationship to mine, in front of others, he then continued & informed me that this was, in fact, the "rich, snobby neighborhood." De(A or a)nna is a few years younger than me & dropped out of Central, & I left for Chicago on a full-ride at the top of my class from Wahlert H.S. Will is barely out of UD's Physical Fitness School with, possibly, some Business coursework, from East St.Louis. At least she mentioned in the conversation between the 3 of us that ensued that few people like me would ever come back, especially with the unconditional love attitude I have about this area & my hometown, especially after everything that has been done in my regard. Anyway, I said, "This IS my neighborhood, Will"--I told him I grew up just around the corner & just stood there. Hmm...yeah. No record had to screech off the player. The silence was bad enough.
