Penny Arcade - 1984

The Penny Arcade on Main Street was once a...penny arcade.
Imagine.
It was there that we first met.
As I walked into the place, I was drawn to her.
She did not say a word.
Neither did I.
Our eyes locked for a moment and I found myself walking over to her. Something about her was mystical.
Her long dark hair draped over her shoulders. She had dark eyes, incredible lashes and full lips. She wore a dramatic silky blouse with a vest and a bold sash.
I stood before her searching for a way to connect. There are some people in this life you wouldn't drop a dime on.
For her, I dropped a quarter.
We never spoke, but she left me with this.

  1. Esmeralda is my fave; rarely do I pass by her without asking her my fortune. I have found that she is more accurate after the sun sets. Just one of those things the park doesn't tell you about.

Thanks for posting. Now please exit the boat the same way you came in---pushing, shoving and clawing at those around you. Enjoy the rest of your day here in this magical and wonderful place that we at the World Famous Jungle Cruise like to call..."Work."
