Granite Falls

A long time ago an older sister and I went to look for a relative’s place near Granite Falls, WA. Some years before that, the town had a reputation for lots of fist fights and rough stuff that included their entire police force – I think they all got canned.

Anyway, it was Sat night after 11pm, we were lost. We stopped to use a pay phone to call for more directions. Not only did the phone not work, it ate our coins, and when I hit “coin return” and reached in to get the money back, I found that someone had smashed a banana into the coin return holder. Disgusting feeling if you’re not expecting it!
