Welcome to Geezerville

The sign at the edge of town says Ashland, but it more appropriately should read Welcome to Geezerville or You Are Now Entering Varicose VillageChildren Not Welcome.

There just werent enough places for the retirees to put their trust funds. We NEEDED two more banks.

Its only McDonalds, and, after all, we NEED another bank.

Its only Dairy Queen, and, after all, we NEED another bank.

And who cares that those kids left will have no place to go after the big game or little league?

Oh, I forgot, they can always go downtown and buy a gelato for $5.00.

And, of course, well all be grateful that they wont have to walk in the bank to deposit their minimum wage paychecks. Now, theyll be able to drive through and make the deposit.

So, instead of dishing out fun and good times, the drive-thru windows will dish out cash.

Just the kind of memories of Ashland our kids will, no doubt, cherish.

And now, after closing 2 elementary schools, the school board spends more time talking about property management than about educating the students that are left.

And have you checked out Shakespeare or Britt lately?

I mean, how many times can they wheel out the same tired old acts and plays.

Does anyone still breathing really want to see the Doobie Brothers or Credence play the same old crap.

I half-expected Donovan to come out holding a walker instead of a guitar.

And Brian Wilson (yeah, I know, hes a genius) is probably wearing Depends.

The Who had it right long ago when they sang I hope I die before I get old. But heck, even theyre back on tour.

As for the audiences, even the gray hairs are gone. Now, its the blue hairs that have taken over.

Theyre the only ones who can afford to pay the silly prices.

As Joni Mitchell so aptly put it, Dont it always seem to go, that you dont what youve lost till its gone.
