Every AO on “this” side of Old Chapin was born from Shawshank.
It was 8 years ago yesterday (5/13/14) that we headed West and launched Shawshank. Before then, we had Graveyard and Crypt, a 20 minute drive for those on the west side of town. Expanding westward proved to be massive for our region as FNGs came at a rapid pace. Soon after Shawshank, SnakePit was born. Then, The Hollow launched. The Hollow divided several times and grew us even more. That was an exciting time. We used to EH everybody. When was the last time you EH’d someone?
Thanks to all that posted this AM. Betterment was achieved.
