Moments Before The Storm
West Chester, PA
4th of July Weekend
Town is empty. It's so empty, I can stand in the middle of the street on a Saturday night and take this photo. The skies tell me that a storm is going to open up any second now. So I have to make a quick decision; do I run home and possibly get caught in the storm or do I run in to a nearby bar and have beer and watch the rain beat down on the concrete. I choose the bar.
I sneak in only to find that I am the only customer. The wait staff stand around and play word games with each other for awhile. Then slowly, one at a time, they wonder off to check in on all of their social media obligations. I now pull out my phone and bury my head in Facebook. None of us are speaking to each other. We are isolated from each other. And I wonder if I should just run home and risked getting caught in the storm.
