I went to church at Central Presbyterian in downtown St. Paul, and liked seeing some art on the wall in the fellowship hall. It included a map of the city in the 1880s. I liked seeing a Turner Hall being listed, a reminder of being in New Ulm. After this I went over to the former Schmidt brewery and walked around, finding a regional park on the other side, Shepard Road. I got plenty of pictures while there, including of the 'West 7th Fort Road Federation'. Like many businesses, it was closed today. But I was still able to get laundry done, and if I needed any food I went to a Superamerica. I waited until a college basketball tournament game was done before doing laundry, Michigan won to reach the Final Four. Louisville won the other game, but I didn't see much of it.
In the evening I did watch the Charlie Brown specials on ABC with my date. It was 'The Easter Beagle' and 'Charlie Brown's All-Stars'. I looked at my bookcase in advance and found out I did have 'Easter Beagle' in book form. I've noticed how many of those TV specials seem to follow the book form fairly close. It is also a nice reminder of reading programs in schools, as there was a stamp from the RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) program inside it. When I was driving home the song I heard on my car radio was 'King Of Pain' by The Police. It is kind of a haunting song, starting off with 'A little black spot on the sun today'. It serves as a reminder of growing up in Newton, Iowa, as this was the theme for homecoming in 1983. It was stamped on that year's button, and it was memorable since it was my family's first year in Newton. With Maytag gone, and the football team not winning like before, it leaves me wondering 'Who's the king of pain now?' These two things were the source of pride in town for a long time.
