Hats off to ACE Hardware
A big hats off to ACE Hardware.
This store and all the people are so nice and friendly,
you have missed the best place in Hermiston. I have been
a customer for years, but I have shopped at every store
with all of the many, many things they have to offer.
The people working are so friendly and helpful (not
like some other stores, when you go in they walk up to
you not away). Can’t even say enough, just thank you
very much.
While disco was popular with the
release of “Saturday Night Fever,”
I preferred the likes of Billy Joel’s
“Only the Good Die Young,” Bob
Seger’s “Night Moves,” Queen’s
“We are the Champions” and “Hotel
California” by the Eagles.
Speaking of hotel, the event is
being held the same weekend as the
Bay Area Fun Festival and the 39th
annual Steve Prefontaine Run. Rooms
are booking up fast, but my mom and
pops still reside in Coos Bay — in the
very house that I lived in my last few
years of high school. Luckily, my old
bedroom no longer features dreadful
wallpaper. It was quite obnoxious
with yellow, orange and pink smiley
faces everywhere.
I enjoyed my high school days,
but wouldn’t want to go back to
things like minimum wage at $2.30
an hour, a basic Montgomery Wards
microwave oven for just under $500
and disco topping the music charts.
As for the memories, thanks to the
Bee Gees, they are “stayin’ alive,
stayin’ alive, ah, ha, ha, ha.”
