broad & high & it’s a hard & it’s a hard & it’s a hard & it’s a hard

Since the second job I’ve had in Columbus, every work day (with the exception of the few weeks I had one job two blocks north Goodale), I’ve passed through the intersection of Broad & High. It’s not the main intersection in Columbus, not anymore, but it is the main one downtown, and it’s where almost all the bus lines cross. I’m not a temp anymore, but while I was, for eight of my twelve jobs I got off the bus at or just after that intersection, so it provided a bit of continuity.

On the northeast corner, they’re building a building. They have been for as long as I’ve been passing by. At least, they have scaffolding and billboards (that sometimes fall down), and plywood-roofed temporary sidewalks, and men in hardhats, and for a while an enormous crane, but they don’t seem to have done anything in, what, two and a half years?, except move the advertising around. I guess that’s how it goes sometimes.

This is a months-old draft beginning of something. I think it was going to be about to say something about the Kelvin Arms and someone I used to know, but now I can’t remember what.
