ima talk about goldfield

Nev­er once did I go to Gold­field.

For sim­i­lar rea­sons why it took so long to go to Bev­Mo, the era­sure of for­mer Sacra­men­to in­sti­tu­tions was too sore and disappointing.

Be­fore it was Bev­Mo, it was The Beat! where I both worked and col­lect­ed many records and memories.

the beat! which is now fuck­ing bevmo
 

Be­fore it was Gold­field it was Ham­burg­er Pat­ties and be­fore that Ham­burg­er Mary’s and they would have Tran­ny Bin­go night (it is what they called it, part of the Ham­burg­er Mary’s in­sti­tu­tion – Ham­burg­er Mary’s be­ing a Queer chain) and the best sea­soned fries that left your mouth a desert. 

It had for­rest carv­ings for no rea­son and gi­ant booths and burg­ers as wide as my hand. I would pop in on my lunch break from The Beat and get a veg­gie burg­er that would last me two days.

So yeah, good rid­dance to Gold­fields who are the an­tithe­sis of the pos­i­tive queer home that used to live in that location.

I hope Laven­der Heights re­claims this soil.
