January, 1991. Where was I? Dwellar quiz

footfootfoot · 12-05-2008, 04:12 PM

Anyone? Bueller?

Cincinnati, OH.

I've never been there, but that's my guess based on a Google search. It looks like a Roebling Bridge, and Cincinnati has one that looks much like that.

Edit: The spires on the towers really threw me off, because they don't look like that today, but old photographs look like the one you took, and an article I found shows that it was refurbished.

I could still be wrong but it looks the same to me.

In January 1991, I was approximately one month away from my descent into a year of the most intense personal Hell of my entire life. So, I guess I was in Grandview, MO, enjoying the then-apparent success of my son's surgery that past October, and allowing myself to think that the recent foreclosure of my previous house might not have been quite the catastrophe I'd thought.

I was wrong.

HERE.

Specifically, on the riverbank by Newport looking toward Mt. Adams.

footfootfoot · 12-05-2008, 07:20 PM

glatt, how the hell did you google that?

footfootfoot · 12-05-2008, 07:21 PM

Thanks Juni. I knew I was in or near Cinci, I could have asked my Cinci pal who I was visiting at the time, but this seemed more funner. I will dig out other obscure Cinci pictures

I'd love to see 'em - that's my hometown!

Desert Storm. I knew I should have bought vacation property in Iraq. There's something about that country that keeps calling me back!

Of course I was in Kuwait in Jan, but moved into Iraq later

I know the intent of the thread was only to figure out where foot was in Jan. 1991, but I like the new turn this has taken.

In Jan. 1991 I was in 5th grade, and my parents had just gotten divorced about three months earlier.

In Jan 1991, I'd just gotten engaged to the arsehole I left yrs later. We were living together in a suburb called The Grange here in Brisbane. I was working as a receptionist for an insurance company which employed a few sporting greats such as Greg Richie, Peter Grigg, Brett Lemann and Alan Jones. (Zen might know who those blokes are)

I left that company about 8 months later after a run in with Greg Richie, (he was the sales manager) arsehole extraordinaire.

Juniper · 12-05-2008, 10:24 PM

Mmm...let's see. I'd been living with my hubby, who was not yet my hubby, for about a year and he informed me that we were moving from this cheap little rental shack into a 10x60, dumpy trailer he had bought for $1500. I had to decide whether to stay with him and deal, or ditch him and live somewhere else. I stayed and it wasn't so bad. I was working for $7/hour at a car rental, so it's not like I could afford much better.

We were there 4 years, sold it and used the money for a down payment on a house.

In Jan. 1991 darlet#1 was born.

We were living in Issaquah, WA and I was working for Aldus Corp. (which was shortly thereafter borged by Adobe).

Jan 1991?
I think my parents were still living in Tuscaloosa, but they might've already moved to San Angelo, TX... And I was still just a bump in my momma's stomach.

I was an active duty Captain at Ft. Campbell, Ky, just reporting in and living in the guest house on post with the wife, 2 small kids, and 2 dogs.

Pico and ME · 12-06-2008, 03:12 PM

I was in Cinci too! I lived on ST James just off Eden Park...I LOVED it.
