WBL # 7: The Classic City Bakeries Pink Church Loop
The famed Pink Church. The Classic City and the Papacy have historically been at odds. Feuds over time come and go. Greeks vs Romans. Wars for centuries. For Millennia. Sticks and stones you know still hurt. Now in the modern post Vatican II era: Classic City Bakeries is one of those long standing WBL sponsors. Often those coffers shut prematurely. But the ovens at CCB are always hot with fresh tarmac. The bread is usually not hot.
Winter is winter. It rains. It’s cold. But sometimes sunny. Sometimes warm. That is the Classic City. With that, it is sometimes just a story of fit in what you can fit. Square peg in the round hole. Much has been written about the lumps of Archer Grove. To the phallic twists of Cane Creek. To the headstones past former ZEALOTS honored on cemetery hill. To the yachts on the J-Riviera. Past the frozen alligator pond. It’s in these environments that some of the elder greying vets took to the fore along with the baby-faced youngsters who we don’t believe can drive a certain Crustacean Crabbe and PJ missing the B Terry. Those grey-haired trio all held their AARP cards close to their chest. A certain Sultan of South Milledge Tytus Magner, BamBam Cornett, and the Only Gutcheck Gruber. We’re not sure how those fellows did what they did. Nor are we sure how not to mess with Jenny Thornton-Brooks as she dug her legs into the saddle in such a fierce manner than only Alexa the rabbit Hoppenfeld and Sarah the Godly Godwin had the will to participate. All others eliminated. On the non-pro side, the Crustacean ran away from missing the B with Minister Noah Niwinski saying his last rights as the group finally made it back inside the loop. More tomorrow.
