I was wondering if any biz owners here have gotten quoted yet for the upcomming years yellow page ads? The small local pages book ( the one with 5 pelicans on the cover). They want 100% more from me this year? Really?
I didn't think anyone even used the Yellow Pages any more. No good deed goes unpunished.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

Well, picture, if you will: The Ventura Public Library has phone books going back to the early 80's so I requested a 1986 phone book Xenon West which was an all ages night club where Craig and I used to go in 1985. I knew it was downtown but I couldn't remember where, so I looked it up.
We used to hang out at Naugles at 2210 E Main in Ventura which is now a Taco Bell. I couldn't remember where the Naugles was so I looked it up in a 1986 phone book.
I couldn't rememeber the name of the nightclub, I could only remember the general area: Main St from 300 to 600 on the south side of the street
So, I paid a visit to the library to find out where these businesses WERE at the time. A friend of mine, Jay whom Craig and I invited to a birthday party in April of last year (Jay couldn't go, he had a thing) mentioned the name Xenon West and he pointed out the place as he drove by!
I saw Road House which was filmed in 1989 near Magic Mountain but unfortunately the local library didn't carry outdated phonebooks becaue I could clearly see the name of a business in the background. I wanted to look it up to see where it was at the time so I could see exactly where it was, but no dice.
Well I guess I'll just sit here and blow up then, shall I?

Neither of my phone books have a pelican on the cover.
One is from the Verizon.
The other is the one that is in racks all over town; it has a husky dog on the cover. That one I keep as it has maps of various venues and maps of Big Bear, and coupons.
The latter might be worth paying for, since it is everywhere. The third, itty-bitty one just goes in the trash as soon as it arrives.

a bit late to the party.. you don't need the waiver to ride the sky chair if you are walking. Only bike riders need the waiver. The walk down is a different path this year and steeper.
The Local Pages
becaue I could clearly see the name of a business in the background. I wanted to look it up to see where it was at the time so I could see exactly where it was, but no dice.
Glad the baby's safe.
