A couple of weeks ago, I made a Gatorade and hot chocolate run during a break between Wayne Kevin’s flag football games. Grateful to have a “real” bathroom at my disposal instead of the portolets at the field, I availed myself of the facilities at the Gate Station on Magnolia Drive here in Tallahassee, where […]
