The old cab drivers hotel

Well folks you will have to put up with me for a few days. My partner will be gone for a few days. As you know I am new at this so the previous post with the picture in it is today's subject. In 2002 there were 6 of us living there. Oh yeah and one Yellow bird, err I mean yellow cab. Sampson lived there, whom I did a post on awhile ago, Justin, who passed away the first part of this year. Pirate lived there, I think he had been there the longest. It was really great, the rest was cheap, only $ 110.00 a week, and the cable was furnished. Time Warner, which is Bright House now. A gentleman named Ray managed the hotel. He was a class act. It was really convenient a few blocks away was the "Tiny Tap". A great place to put down a few after a hard day with the public. There were times when I took a Saturday off and would go to the Tap and help Wick open up at 7:30 am. Actually he would do the work and I would check out the beer and make sure it was drinkable. Also a block from Kash and Karry, now know as Sweet Bay. I used to get good fares out of there. Wick called me on my cell one Saturday morning, I decided to work that day and this guy wanted to go to Ft. Myers, he was pretty drunk, now keep in mind this is only 8:00 in the morning. I told him 300.00 and money up front, he told me not to worry about money as he had plenty. Yeah right. I still wanted to see some of it. He went into his pocket and pulled out five 100 dollar bills, oh yeah. I took three of them and off we went, he fell asleep before we got to the crosstown. That was a great Saturday. Be careful out there.
