After dinner this evening, I went for a walk in search of the Beatles' Penny Lane as our residence hall is only a few streets away. Three of us found it after about 20 minutes. Actually, it not really that long. Its narrow with row houses off of one side and a nice green space on the other. What makes Penny Lane special is that there is a pub at the very top of the road where the original blokes would meet at night and create some amazing music. As we walked down the street, three Irish grade school teachers, just coming back from a soccer (football) match offered to take our pix next to the Penny Lane sign. As two joined us, the third took our pic only to be stopped by a person driving by offering to get out of their car to take all of our pix; making the lyrics come right to life:
....In penny lane there is a barber showing photographs, Of every head he's had the pleasure to know, And all the people that come and go, Stop and say hello.
....In penny lane there is a barber showing photographs, Of every head he's had the pleasure to know, And all the people that come and go, Stop and say hello.
