This story reminds me of the disabled guy that worked at the Gastonia movie theatre who passed away recently. He tore the tickets inside and told you what theatre to go to. He was nice as hell and had been there for years. I don't remember going there and him not being there, all the way back to when I was young.

When he passed, the amount of articles and stories shared about him was heart warming. I hadn't been to that theatre in a while and as soon as I heard he was gone I was saddened more than I expected. Goes to show how much one person can impact a community, even if they're just "the ticket guy" or a greeter at the local Y.

There's a guy like that at AMC Northlake that's been there for quite a while now. Super nice.

Holy shit, I remember that old boy. Had no idea he'd passed. You from Gaston by God County too?

I live close, too close haha. I'm actually pinned between it and Shelby. And honestly Gastonia is ok, it just gets a bad reputation from people trapped within it's grasp.

Heh. I grew up in one of the little ex-mill towns orbiting Gastonia. For us, G-town was the big city.

Bryant's a great guy, he greets me all the time and is one of the faces of the Harris Y. I just wish I could get up early enough before work to see Wilks workout.

Fun fact: Oher, Star, and Dwan Edwards also frequent the Harris
