Since Foo was child Foo go to Olneyville. Foo used to live on Steere Ave near St. Theresa's church…read moreoff Manton in house in backyard of another house. Foo go to Nickerson after D'Abate school and go to Olneyville for snack. Sometimes Fountain Royale near Freeway but almost always get gaggers from Olneyville. Foo also sneak into Beer Hill Pub next to Anthony's and get small draft for 45 cent. Foo love being child and all hijinx in Olneyville. The Ling family love everything about Olneyville except hardware store close down.
Foo decides to go back to old haunt like Foo is star of Welcome Back Kotter. Foo rides his new Porsche through Olneyville and Foo starts to cry a bit. So much change it scare Foo. Foo, me, the reviewer of this review, was with financial advisor from the Cayman and she ask Foo why so sad.
"Foo, why so sad?" asked my money person.
"It all change!"
"Things do change, you know, Foo darling!"
"Yes, but this is cray cray! Where bank, hardware, paint and wallpaper store in mill, fur shop in house with sun bleached sign?"
"All gone, but Foo, take a left and a left."
Foo drives into Olneyville New York System lot and take deep breath. When Foo go in, George is there! Everyone there. Everything same."
"Hey Foo," said George.
"Hey George," said Foo.
"Usual?" asked George, "Weiner special with coffee milk?"
""Xie xie, you remember Foo from years ago!" said Foo.
"Hi hao," said George.
Foo believes New York System is like heaven but with nicer people. I get same thing, stand outside to eat and if no eat inside Foo eat outside but not eat gaggers in car because Mrs. Ling like to be angry and scold me, Foo, for loving Olneyville. But Mrs. Ling from Shanghai so she can eat chicken foot, me, Mr. Ling, I smart cookie. I go to Olneyville New York System because it's delicious and I feel peace when eating one, or two, no onion.
"Foo hopes Olneyville last forever,"
"It will Foo, it will," said money lady.
And then, with that, Foo take deep breath and exhale and know money lady correct, forever means forever and Olneyville is always promised for tomorrow.
