Where are the old dances? Like old timey dances on a saturday night. My grandmother is 94 and she mentioned many times going to a dance house on Saturdays. Or maybe I have some fantasy from old western movies where all the cow-pokes and all the farm girls get dressed up and go to a dance.
I feel like our American Dream is that we all have our houses and apartments.....what I call our 'sheetrock boxes' we all live in. Then there's the 'stuff', and the big screen tv or 2 or 3.... Somehow we get ourselves so isolated while surrounded by people. And a lot of people have BIG sheetrock boxes and BIG bills and they work and work to maintain that....
I've been on business trips to Barcelona and Italy.... in the evenings there would be hundreds of people out just strolliing down the town's main street/strip/park. Old people sitting and talking, couples walking and holding hands, kids playing and lovers in dark corners. America doesn't have that.
Where is that smaller community feel? I am married so I'm not looking for a girl, but where are the dances of old?
