That's what I thought too, heading for Evans back in the 80s. Pitch black road to nowhere. A shack on the water that looked like it was going to fall into the water any second.... not a light to be seen all around.

Was working at Pax on the F-14 PDU program. Had an engineer who reprogrammed all of the error beeps on the room full of Macintosh computers to scream, "I wanna go to EVANS!!!!!!!!!"
That got old real fast.

Charlie was a really nice guy with a terrible stutter. He treated me like his kid sister that needed to be protected.
Didn't MissKitty get his face smooshed there in the mens room?It was the discothèque on GM Road across from the old McDonald's. Hardwood floor, wall of mirrors, DJ booth, and mirror ball.
Yeah, Mr. Long and company could be quite the a-holes.
I met a girl in one of my college classes and she invited to meet her there for taco night. The placed was PACKED. We bonded instantly and spent many a night there, dancing, playing video games, and shooting pool. Still best of friends to this day 40 years later. Lot of water under the bridge now.

The only one I remember with a stutter I don't recall as Charlie. In fact, it's been so long I don't remember half the names anymore.
My grandfather's favorite place ever. He'd take us kids there a couple times a year back in the early '70s and continued to make occasional visits thre all the way up until he passed away in 1989.

I don't think his name was really Charlie. Just his nickname because of the stutter. No political correctness (or offense taken for that matter) back in those days.
