Awesome childhood memories came up this weekend in Blacksburg. As kids we


would always stay at this one hotel that had a trolley restaurant attached to the end of it. Whilst at our hotel this weekend Hurley08 and I were reminiscing about it and the b-tchin boulders behind it that we played on every time we were down there. We couldn't remember what it was called or where exactly it was but we figured we were close to it. We then stopped talking about our childhood and went out drinking like responsible adults.

That night (Friday night) we Uber back to our Days Inn in Christiansburg, it drops us off and leaves. We look up and realize we're at the wrong Days Inn. '08 then says 'Holy crap! This is it!' and sure enough, on the left side of this hotel was the trolley restaurant. What would have been incredibly annoying turned out to be great as we took pictures outside the old restaurant. We decided to be kids again and go around back and play on those aforementioned b-tchin boulders. Unfortunately they had been replaced by bushes. '08 decides to go into the lobby and ask the front desk if they have a shuttle to the other hotel, because lots of hotels have shuttles to take drunk morons to competing hotels. Shockingly they did not have this service available. '08 asked about the restaurant and the lady said "That's been closed for 20 years." Twenty years! We couldn't believe it, then realized 'yup, it's been quite a long time since a Hurley went to school here.'
