The club also served free food every day to help get everyone by. We made a lot of friends during that time.
After the first few days of me providing the free food, others started bringing in covered dishes to add to the mix. It was quite nice to see a neighborhood act like they used to in "my day". Some of these people lived right next door to each other and had never met. It is amazing how adversity can bring people together. Next week though, they will still flip you off in traffic.
