Three quick things to wrap up the week. First, a piece of Marquette history is being destroyed--
That is (or was) the passenger platform from the old Fifth Street train station. It was a 200-foot long slab of concrete that marked an era long gone, and was one of last (if not the last last) pieces of urban grunge left in the city. Surprisingly, not many people knew it was there, but for those of us who are (or were) fans, it's a sad, sad day.
On a brighter note—Susan from American Airlines thinks we got shafted.
I spent quite a lot of time on the phone with Susan last night (at the exact safe time that the ceiling in our apartment started leaking water from somewhere, but that's another story for another day). Like I mentioned yesterday, Susan couldn't understand for the life of her why we had been turned down for a refund for our flights to France after the airline had canceled said flights. After speaking with a couple of people and filling out forms on our behalf, she said we should be getting said refund in a week or so.
So thank you, Susan, for making a strange week a little less strange. And for restoring, if just a little bit, my faith in your employer.
Finally, I think this might just be one of my weekend projects--
We'll see...
